J.E. Stovall Radiator Welding Service was located at 1014 Broadway. It was later known as Stovall-Booher Radiator Sales and Service; it was located at 1014 Broadway for more than 50 years.
I was talking to a friend about stripping metal pieces and she was talking about needing to sandblast the piece. I said we always took our metal beds and pieces to the radiator shop to be dip-stripped. It was so easy. Of course, their vat size determined what could be dipped.
Growing up and helping my grandparents at the "commodity house," located on Broadway Street next to the bus depot, I spent many hours walking Broadway Street. Walking the street and watching some stripping. LOL
As I would walk south, I had to pass the radiator shop, Stovall-Boher Radiator. In later years they moved to 107 W 5th, where Heart's Desire is now located.
A wonderful old sign of the times!
