If I were younger I'd be tempted to get smashed in there (assuming I'd be allowed in).

wow, great photo! surprising it's in color!

Wow -- one stop shopping. The precursor to Wal-Mart! Notice that's really a gas pump. You crank that long handle to put whatever amount of gas you want in the tank up top, then drain it into your car with the hose.
Jonathan Stiles said:
Yes, there's a glass container or cistern atop which probably had calibrations on it so that you could count the precise volume pumped.

Simplicity pre-consumerism . . .

Mulatto, which has its roots in the word 'mule'--the sterile offspring of a male ass and a mare--is a horrible word, that is associated to people of color. No one should allow themselves to be call a mulatto.

The title is from the original 1940's caption from the photographer. While 'Mulatto' is offensive to us, back then it was the everyday term for people of mixed race. Thank goodness we have progressed a little.

Again, not Proviso and therefore in Chicago rather than Melrose Park.
