Image of a shingled house and driveway along a roads in a rural setting. A group of signs hangs in front by the road, advertising "White Shutters" (probably the name of the shop) "Greeting Cards/ Gifts/ Home Cooked Food & Candy...Polly Cole of Cambridge/ Individual Clothes." The image shows an example of one of the many roadside businesses created out of a home to capture the car-vacationing tourist. This phenomenon began as the driving vacation became possible with the increasing family ownership of an automobile in the early 20th century. [no title]
