November 1937. "Curb service -- Newport News, Virginia." Two cheeseburgers and one mouse sandwich, coming right up. 35mm nitrate negative by John Vachon for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
But it looks as if Big John has served his last curb, so to speak. The joint seems to be abandoned and someone better tell the cat. The two palookas will move on soon enough.
I get it - these guys are sitting on the curb, waiting for service. An early example of "truth in advertising", no doubt.
