Scope and content
Lucky families were able to catch a ride in a horse-drawn carriage during grand opening festivities at the new Villa Plaza Firestone. Firestone not only supplied tires and automotive necessities but also lawn & garden supplies and housewares as well. It was more than just a tire store and was the first of its kind in the country. Geared toward suburbanites, Firestone joined other well-known stores, such as Woolworth, J.C. Penney and Rhodes Bros., at Lakewood's newest shopping center, the Villa Plaza. Photograph ordered by Firestone. (TNT 8-7-57, B-20)
