Prescott Hardware drawing for cash
Photo Book 2
Both of these pictures were made in 1929. The Prescott Hardware held an annual drawing at which $500.00 was given to the winner. Note the crowd inside the building and the spill-over into the street to the Post Office. This event was on Wednesday, October 27th just before the market crash on "Black Friday", October 29th 1929. The beginning of the "GREAT DEPRESSION".
