| Notes | On the back of the photograph is written "South Seminary Street & Tompkins. Tank parked on north side of Tompkins just west of Seminary. Building in background was P. & M Motors, home of the Overland auto. Taxi serice was operated from here by the P.M. Taxi Co. Taxis were Willy's Knight autos, with enclosed section for passengers. Driver had roof over his head and a windshield but was otherwise exposed to the elements". Note from cataloger: The sign on the window to the right says Taxicab Livery, not P. & M. Taxi Co. The address was verified in the 1922 Galesburg City Directory. There are two small smudges on the lower left of the photograph. |
