    Boyd’s Sunoco service station in January of 1936. City of Tampa, Florida.

    The owner of the filling station apparently also operated Boyd’s “Free Zoo” and used his animals for publicity photos. The image contains a Monkey pumping gas, possibly with Boyd beside him.

    The dude tanking up W.C. Fields on a diet's car can be trusted with work much more than many contemporary employees

    Those billiard ball-loaded purses were deadly weapons, if used correctly. No wonder those guys aren't giving her any lip

    Mom always threw her coin change into the bottom of her purse, and I figured out it was her secret self-defense weapon.
