EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a glimpse of Brooklyn's bustling Bedford Avenue on July 13,1916. The focal point of the image is the prominent Paige Cars sign adorning the storefront at 1410 Bedford Avenue. The sign stands out against the backdrop of other businesses lining the sidewalk. The photo, taken by William Davis Hassler, showcases an era when local shops were at the heart of American communities. It offers a fascinating insight into early 20th-century commerce in America, with its array of shopfronts and stores dotting both sides of the street. The Paige Cars sign itself exudes a sense of nostalgia for automobile enthusiasts and collectors alike. Its presence serves as a reminder that even over a century ago, automobiles played an integral role in shaping urban landscapes. Preserved within the collection of New-York Historical Society, this image invites us to step back in time and imagine ourselves strolling along those pavements on that summer day in 1916. It encapsulates not only a specific moment but also reflects broader themes such as progress, trade, and community spirit. As we admire this snapshot from history captured through Hassler's lens, it reminds us to appreciate how far we have come while honoring our past – where small businesses like these laid down their roots to shape neighborhoods like Brooklyn into what they are today.
