The tow truck on the left is an early 30's fabric-topped roadster whose tail light, with its red light and tiny stop sign, had been removed and placed higher on the back of the truck for better visibility. Signs visible on the building are for Good Year tires and batteries and Tydol gasoline.

The title was given by Henry L. Rand when he catalogued the photograph.

The company later moved to New Jersey. Mr. Higgins left hand is on the lever that controls the air coming into the fire. And a bucket of water stands nearby.
