A store display of tea and spices at an A&P grocery store. The chain hired Loyd Sandgren to photograph showcase examples and prints of the displays would be sent to other stores in the chain to use as a model display. It looks like many of the old brands remain, only the prices have changed.

Shopping was sure simpler in a store like this which appears to be a Firestone branded home and hardware store. They had Firestone bicycles, outboard motors, paint and auto supplies. They also sold sporting goods, books (Bibles for $1.00 and Fiction, Biography and Self Help for 49 cents) and luggage. There are even dolls lined […]

“Jacksonville Beach, Florida as it looked in 1950. The old pier was out from 3rd. Ave. North. Note the amusements on the far left. Picture was taken from the Life Saving Tower, the same one that is there today. Lots of cars on the beach.” LS I’m going to go out on a limb and […]
