jm1fd Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) As I suspected, it was ripped off from this government site. The original: Edited April 30, 2007 by jm1fd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
editor Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 I'll remove the link to the other web site.Although, strictly speaking, it isn't "ripped off" because the copyright has expired. But still, the other site should credit its sources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecondTour Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 The sign on the store next to it says "Valley Fruit". Maybe that's a place to start, if anyone knows anything about old Houston businesses. Possibly some sort of records database or something.

Possibly some sort of records database or something.the Valley Fruit Stand was located at 1900 Franklin Ave. (near the Hamilton intersection)this would have been a couple blocks away from the now abandoned Gribble Stamp building, on the east side of the 59 overpass on Franklinin the 1932 directory, the closest matches i could find were these residences:1902 Franklin: William Knorba1908 Franklin: Miss Verna Higgins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the lower right hand side of the photo-you can see on the curb in front of the fruit stand it says "1900 Franklin". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
