Looking northwest across the busy intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Vermont Avenue. A Carpenter's drive-in restaurant and the Moorish style Texaco service station are seen on the right. In the distance is the Gaylord apartment building. Foster and Kleiser billboards for Tecate Beer and U.S. Royal Tires are prominently seen nearby. Photograph dated October 2, 1947. Harry B. Carpenter founded the Carpenter's chain with his brother Charles and operated many locations in Los Angeles including: Sunset and Vine, Wilshire and Western, Wilshire and La Cienega, Wilshire and Vine, Pico and Vermont, Silver Lake and Glendale and Sunset and Virgil.
