Imperial Transfer & Storage
1900 Central, Kansas City, Missouri
The photograph below dates from 1924 or 1925. ("1924" is discernable
on the leftmost truck's license plate.) In addition to damage the original
print had suffered through the years, the emulsion was cracking off the
print, slowly decaying it. In 2000, the print was copy scanned at Custom
Color (coincidentally in the same building shown in the print), retouched
by DeLong Design, and digitally reprinted.
