I did a little detective work on this photograph and discovered that ...
1. The only dry cleaning store I could find in Detroit that used a 406 address was the La France Dry Cleaners that were located at 406 Scotten Avenue.
2. The grocery and tobacco store on the left (which I'm confident is 408 Scotten Avenue) was owned and operated by a gentleman named O. Witmore.
The reasons I investigated this photograph are ...
1. I was curious when it was taken.
2. It has the Vernor's VGA logo on the wagon - plus 33 Woodward - plus Phone Main 469 - plus a paper label bottle.
Taking all of the above into consideration, I'm giving it a date of ...
circa 1907
