Description:
Good day hunting. Two hunters return with their trophies in their Star Car. Taken in front of Eby Auto Sales, Wakarusa, Indiana. Ralph Eby opened his Star/Durant Dealership in 1922 also selling Indiana gasoline. He doubled the size of his business in 1926 to accommodate his growing business and in 1928 added Chrysler to his automobile sales lineup. Eby Auto Sales later went on to sell Buick and Chevrolet until giving these franchises up to sell Fords in 1932. Eby Ford remained a Ford Dealership to present time. Note the Star Dealership sign on the front of the business,
