This was in the same pile as the RLDS Church Directory that was in the last post. If you look directly above the "IA" in the caption, there is a large box. I happened to zoom on that part of the photo and this is what I found:
The sign on the side says "gasolene," so it must be an early gas pump. I have never seen anything similar. I wonder how many cars were in Moorhead, IA during the second decade of the twentieth century. Were the farmers using tractors and others gas-powered equipment?
Along with the ad for the McIntyre Drugstore, I'm reposting the fan. Here's a little piece of ephemera, designed to be thrown away, but instead stuck in a drawer. It amazes me that a piece of cheap paper has survived so long.
