It’s time once again for #FlashbackFriday with the Whitewater Historical Society. This week’s image is a road sign for the Whitewater Garage, operated by E M. Drewry and Walter Gnatzig. Some research into this business shows that Drewry and Gnatzig formed a partnership in 1918 and operated the Whitewater Garage together until Gnatzig’s death in 1931. The Whitewater garage was a long-time Buick car dealership and garage business in 20th century Whitewater. This sign was probably erected in the 1920s, probably along Highway 12, which at that time was one of the early improved highways in the area.

Join us next week for more from the Whitewater Historical Society.
