Motorcycling in the early 1900s might sound to some as the Prehistoric days of the sport and expect that business was not very sophisticated. It was actually a real Golden Era with style and cleanliness very much a requirement for a successful retail store. These pre-1920 photos are of the Blauvelt & Stuart Indian Motocycle & Bicycle agency in Toledo, Ohio.
     Inside, the store is well stocked with accessories and everything is in its place. And what a great looking staff all outfitted in suits! Photos from Don Emde Collection.
