This is a ca. 1930 image, taken by amateur Philadelphia photographer Claude Alexander, of the Philadelphia Auto Repair Shop, with its tow truck in front. The truck advertises 24-hour service (broken rear windshield, notwithstanding). The service station is in West Philadelphia. (It appears that they are next door to a competitor, Fidelity Auto & Truck Service.) For additional views of this business, see items #pdcal00005 and #pdcal00016.
