Buick Auto Garage
Image
View across road of D.A. Meister's Garage, with a fire truck parked in front and an automobile parked at the curb on the right. One boy is sitting on the fire truck and another child peers out of the automobile. Two men pose on either side of a street light, in front of the display window, with what may be a call box on it. One or more automobiles are on display inside. Hanging over the garage door is a round "Authorized Buick Service" sign with two lights aimed at each side. Behind the garage door is part of a sign for "Meister Buick Motor Cars." "D.A. Meister Garage" is painted on the display window. Looking through the parked car, a sign for "Camel Cigarettes" and "Holsum Bread" can be seen on a small shed, and to the right may be a barn. A dwelling is on the left.
