Scope and content
This motorcyclist on an Indian motorcycle with sidecar is believed to be Henry Thaut who was photographed outside the Hewitt Cycle Co. store in December of 1923. His sturdy leather gauntlets, high-top leather boots, thick wool peacoat and newsboy-styled cap made riding in the elements a little more comfortable. Hewitt Cycle, owned by Wilmer C. Hewitt, sold Indian motorcycles and Indian Snell bicycles as well as cycling supplies and repairs. The 1923 City Directory indicates that the store was located in the Masonic Building at 734-36 Saint Helens Avenue. G66.1-143
