Print, Photographic
Black and white photographic print depicting two Walker & Co. billboards. One displays an advertisement for Coca-Cola reading, "'Have a Coke', Drink Coca-Cola", and incorporating a thermometer. The other advertises Molly Pitcher Wine reading, "Your Choice of Two Delicious Types, Molly Pitcher Wine, Gold Seal 16%, 13% Blue Seal". In view is traffic on Gratiot Avenue, facing north at Adelaide Street. Businesses on the west side of the street include Michigan Butcher Supply Co., Standard Glass Co., Dirkes Industries, Tony's Bar, G. Schwartz Taxidermist, and the Kotcher Lumber Co.
Caption on verso: Coca-Cola- Spectacular Bulletin at Vernor Highway and Gratiot. Description: The photograph shows just the Gratiot Avenue view, but the large highway of Vernor dead-ends into Gratiot making this fine position a direct head-on coming into Gratiot, so it is really a two superior highway location.
