Wonderful photo. Its 1925 yet they have something of a modern look about them.

Background music being poured out of Molly's record player was always of Jim Reeves - she was 'crazy' about him and his songs. Keep the pic's coming, Eddie.

I watched the Coronation in 1953 in this shop. We all sat on benches in front of a 9" TV. "Molly Peach's".
