Federal touring car

The first car to the left of the Golden Sheaf vans is painted on the back with the legend "U.S.A. 17574." Was that a federal car license number? Did that exempt it from needing a license plate for each state it was driven in?

Golden Sheaf

I like a nice sheaf of butter on my morning toast.

Well, Okeh

That's perfectly acceptable, it was in a very good cause!

Many topics

What an interesting building; when was it torn down in the name of 'progress'? Is that a U.S.Army car just after the subject trucks? The one marked "USA 17574"? The building has a real New Orleans feel to it with that balcony. Nice picture.

[Center Market was torn down in the 1930s to make way for the Constitution and Declaration of Independence. - Dave]
