Goodyear's advertising sits right in the middle of this view of Market Street, San Francisco, the city's main downtown boulevard, where the tire company's sign competes with the everyday bustle of streetcars, automobiles and pedestrians. The scene captures the moment when the automobile was moving from novelty to necessity on American streets, and the painted or lettered ads that lined busy corridors like this one were a common way for national brands to reach city crowds. Look at the mix of vehicles on the roadway to see how transit and private cars shared the same space.
