ITEM DESCRIPTION:

Circa 1905-1910 photograph of a store front on Bay St., Stapleton, Staten Island, NY. It appears to be a soda fountain and candy store. In one window is a "Drink Coca Cola" transfer sign and in the other is a "Confectionery" sign, below which is a large display of Diana Chocolates. Below the Coke sign is a display of trophies and plaques, so perhaps the store sold these items also. On the double doors are ads for Beech-Nut chewing gum, Tootsie Rolls, and Welch's Grape juice. The resolution and detail in the photograph is excellent; wording on the signs is readable with a loop. The photograph is in very good condition, but the cabinet card that it is mounted on is very worn and broken up on the corners. Actual photo is 8"x 6". Free Shipping to USA Customers. 11882-WT
