Dave Antram forwarded this photo of a Dallas, Texas, Pawnshop run by Rubin Goldstein from 1931 until 1972. I don’t know how the store became “Honest Joe’s”, but I do know Goldstein’s personal motto: YCDBSOYA ….. “You can’t do business sitting on your Afghanistan”. You can learn more about Goldstein here.
Now, can you spot the Willys Wagon in this photo?
That is a cool photo!
Way cool picture…
Those were indeed some good days !
Thanks for posting…
Guess there were no city zoning restrictions back then on how many signs you could display on your building. Ah, the good old days…
Where’s Waldo?
