About this item

George Fisher built his garage in 1912, near the center of South Deerfield, Massachusetts.  He sold Ford automobiles. The building burned in 1935, and this picture was taken in the rebuilt facility. George Fisher had died in 1929, and his son Clarence (second from right) took over the business and ran it until his death in 1950. Frank Moro, second from left, was hired in 1937, and took over the business after Clarence’s death. This building still exists today.
