What attracted me to the following images in this book about
how to custom upholster these new car things, many times custom creations on in
their own right, in the 19-teens, was the
“K & A” address, gateway to Harrowgate, and the extinct factory that later
would be part of the site of the Midway Theatre. The images from a micro-industry start to
frame a visual of the process of making carpeting for automobiles.
