Art & Inspiration Tires and more from Firestone in 49!

Picked this up at a thrift store a while back. 1949 Firestone catalog from a former service station here in Ellensburg Wash. The Camoxxy Williams Garage, in business at this location from 1929.

 

Too very cool. Nice score !!!

 

Wow , TVs, Guns, outboards.
Go Firestone!

 

Back in the late 50's my grandfather had a portable TV from Firestone.

 

260 bucks for a TV back then! thats crazy! The shot gun for 19 bucks is a much better deal. I'd also like to sign up on the tire plan at 75 cents a week

 

Didn't Firestone sell "Swamp Coolers " 2 ?? Any ads for this in your catalog ???

 

Maybe, there were refrigerators, bicycles, tools etc.; everything you’d want for Christmas. I framed it this afternoon, so unfortunately too late to check .

That's so cool! Things sure have changed.

 

I remember the Firestone store in the small town that I grew up in during the late 50's. My family always bought a Christmas music LP record from there every year. Always enjoyed looking around in the store!
