Scope and content
ca. 1956. A close-up view of automotive businesses on South Tacoma Way was taken in late 1956 on behalf of the Standard Oil Company. Ed Bitterling's Chevron station is flanked by Tommy's Used Cars and Glenn Betts Trailers. It would have been easy for a customer buying a used vehicle to fill up at the Bitterling Chevron. South Tacoma Way had heavy traffic even in the 1950's as it would segue into Hwy. 99. See also D103231-2 for another view of these businesses.
