carro

Grrr, the cart is still, they aren't going anywhere.

The three are expecting something and waiting for HOPE to come to them.

Here they are on another outing in the same cart: www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2179931268/

I would bet that the photographer was riding on the cart and got them to pull up so that he could get this shot.

There are four women and one man, who is just barely visible between the two women on the left.

In 1913, Ralph De Palma won the Vanderbilt Cup Race on Long Island, driving a Mercedes on a set of Braender tires, which lasted the entire 500 miles without a tire change. So, is this DePalma? Might be -- and maybe he was planning to repeat his feat now, in 1914? Braender Bulldog tires were manufactured by a company in East Rutherford, New Jersey, that had been founded in 1912 by Philip Braender, a German immigrant. (When Braender died in 1916, he left a million bucks to his wife and children. The tire company continued on into the 1920s.) technogeo points out that this photo was taken by an Indianapolis studio -- so, presumably in Indianapolis. De Palma won the Indy 500 race in 1915 (and nearly won in 1912) driving a Mercedes racer. He won other races elsewhere as well, in Mercedes. His Wikipedia bio includes a photo of him with his riding mechanic, Tom Alley, in his 1912 Indy car. It probably was this one -- which is now an exhibit in the Indy hall of fame museum.

Notice the chain drive mechanism under the driver...

cool :)

White/light grey tires with smooth treads!

Present day view (Google Streetview). Not much change and the pharmacy is still a pharmacy. It is on the corner of Boulevard Monthyon and Rue Saint-Luc.

Michiel2005: Wonderful that the pharmacy is still there, and in business. The buildings are very much the same as in 1937, the cars have changed though... :) Great to compare, and to know the position, thanks a lot ! /Anna B.
