History Photos taken before WW2 - history in black and white

I enjoy looking at all the old pictures, I can only speak for myself. But if you have more information to share, I am excited and happy to read it! I have learned so much and have enjoyed many "History" threads here on the H.A.M.B. boards. Thank you for sharing what you have and Thank you to all the others that have shared too! I don't post much....But I look and read often!

 

Those are probably "White" touring cars owned by Fred Harvey Co.

Frederick Henry Harvey (June 27, 1835–February 9, 1901) was an entrepreneur who developed the Harvey House lunch rooms, restaurants, souvenir shops, and hotels... An innovative restaurateur and marketer, Fred Harvey is credited with creating the first restaurant chain in the United States.

Here is an old framed photo I found in the attic of a Maynard Massachusetts house I bought from Leo Warila in 1967.

The photo is likely from the mid to late 1920s
It shows a house, store and garage, two Model T Fords (?) -- a touring and a coupe -- and four men.
Between the house and store is what looks like a tall air or water dispenser.
There are ALA, SOCONY and Quaker State signs on the store, and three gas pumps.
There are AAA, telephone and Quaker State signs on the garage.
The large sign over the garage reads PAUL H. STONE, AUTOMOBILE REPAIRING.

Anyone know where this was?

 

Boy, I'm bummed, Only one new page in 11 months . We all need to try to keep this page

Thanks for "The Rest of The Story" or was than another Harvey? Bob

 

Cram Brothers Studebaker, Colfax, Washington:

 

1908-Studebaker-Brothers limousine. This limousine had an open drivers compartment for the chauffeur and a closed cabin for the passengers typical in Edwardian limousines.

 

These are from a local town. A lot of the old buildings are still standing today.

 

Studebaker near Kearney, Nebraska on the Lincoln Highway.

 

This Studebaker electric was on of two such vehicles used to shuttle members of Congress from their office buildings to the Capital when the tunnel between them first opened in 1909. Today there is a subway type system that does this. This comes from Hemmings.com

 

In 1912, a group of four men and a dog, dubbed the "Pathfinders," set out in a 20-horsepower Flanders Studebaker to promote the Good Roads program and to highlight the need for better roads along the Central Oregon coast.

I agree.

 

Winter is on its way, good time to post old photos. This may pre date WWI, based on the nub on the hoodformer it looks to be a 1909 Ford. That is a model of George Washington's Mount Vernon on top, wonder if Lucas paint supplied all the materials to repaint it? Bob

 

Here's some from various locations here in Canada.

 

More.

 

Still more.

 

Just made the cutoff with this 1942 wreck. Bob

 

^ This is a 1939 Willys Overland coupe with 1942 license plates. You can tell that it is a coupe by the shape of the door top and also by the rear window divider.

 

Look closely at the "trailer" behind this Studebaker truck. More info here: http://www.hcvc.com.au/forum/OldTruck/11487-improvised-trailer-studebaker-truck-circa-1940

 

Studebaker Press Vehicle in the 1909 Glidden Tour. At Fort Dodge, Iowa

 

Again the 1909 Glidden tour. The Studebaker Press vehicle hits a hole in the road somewhere in Colorado.

 

Another 1909 Glidden Tour picture. The Studebaker Press Car is stuck in a ditch near Aurora, Colorado.

 

Here is my great grandfather and great grandmother Joe Bossler and Ellen Bossler in Riverhead NY in the 1930's. What car is that?

 

Dr. DeLongs "Go-devil", his snow machine built in my hometown (still here) Red Deer Alberta, using what I think is an early T chassis. 1919.

 

Picture is around 1910. Loading Studebakers onto train cars at the factory.
