Scope and content
Gil's at night. Gil's proudly advertised its 19 cent hamburgers, as evidenced by the large two-story neon sign illuminating the darkness surrounding the fast food restaurant. The sign towers over the actual building. Even late at night, customers lined up to purchase the inexpensive hamburgers, chicken, pizza and soft drinks. Something new on the menu was a meal of half of a fried chicken, catsup and fries. Darigold ice cream was used to make shakes advertised as "out of this world." Gil's Hamburgers had three locations in the Seattle area; this particular location was not identified. Photograph ordered by Teleradio Advertisers, Inc., for KTVW.
