De Luxe Groceteria

My father in his store, the De Luxe Groceteria, at 494 14th St. in San Francisco, sometime during WWII. This was a neighborhood grocery, but similar in size to the Skaggs Safeway stores he worked in and later managed in San Francisco during the 1920s-1930s. There's a photo just after he opened in 1934 here.

The building is largely unchanged but for the absence of the then-typical awning and tilework about the windows. The lot next door was vacant then as well.
