Scope and content
A little fellow digs deep into a Rubbermaid Busy Bucket to perhaps pull out a winning ticket during the Villa Plaza Firestone grand opening festivities. Firestone was celebrating the opening of its new store in August, 1957, with three days of specials, including Philco freezers, refrigerators and electric ranges, as well as vacuum cleaners and Firestone deluxe super champion tires. Horse and buggy rides were also offered to families. Managed by Clyde M. Ryder, this Firestone was the first of its kind in the country for the Firestone Company. It carried a full recreation and sports line as well as the above mentioned home appliances and housewear needs. A complete line of tires was offered; customers could have brake, front end and battery work done. Photograph ordered by Firestone. (TNT 8-7-57, B-20)
