1915: F.W. DONNELLY & SON "D.B.V." CONTEST

 
It's really nice to be able to splice together a news article from the Library's Local History Collection and a photo as above from the R.C. Maxwell/Duke University Library collection. A closer look at the photo above will reveal a showroom of S.S. Kresge's "5&10" and their selection of dinnerware. Looking even closer one can see the incandescent lights on the Taylor Opera House sign. I have yet to decipher the "D.B.V" initials, but my gut instincts points to "Donnelly's Best Value."
