About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Many were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

That bike

Amazing bike. HUGE bars, and check out the saddle. I would love to ride that thing around town. I wonder if it's fixed or has a coaster brake.
Bevo

That Bevo must have been some concoction to warrant a dime a bottle! Probably a quart bottle, though. After all, when I was a kid in the '50s, Cokes were still only a nickel.
[Bevo was a popular nonalcoholic malt beverage made by Anheuser Busch. Wikipedia link. - Dave]
Nice pattern matching
