| The handwriting at the bottom of the photograph reads, "Asylum Ave." The factory building was located near Western and Ramsey Streets. From "The New 'Warehouse District,' and Lively Old Asylum Avenue" by Jack Neely: "In 1907, International Harvester, dealer of tractors and 'motor trucks,' built its regional headquarters here on Asylum. They also built the Valarium Building, in the late 1920s, mainly as a truck-repair facility. When they left in the ‘30s, Great Atlantic Shoe moved into the older building; the newer one became a warehouse for the Hartman Beverage Co., when they were best known for 7-Up, but were developing a recipe for a clever new drink they called Mountain Dew." |
