Again, not A-centric, but probably very typical of the times......

Re: ..Just another nice pic
Info from the Pig Stand website
The first Pig Stand restaurant opened in 1921 on the Dallas/Fort Worth Texas Turnpike. There was no dining room. Instead, the world's first curb service began. Folks drove up and were greeted by waiters who took their orders, brought them their food, and enabled them to eat in their vehicles. Shortly thereafter, the Pig Stand introduced the drive-through window allowing customers to drive up, purchase food from the convenience of their cars, and to go about their business. The only remaining one is here in San Antonio. They still have great food. Looks like they delivered also with that pick-up.
During the 1920s Pig Stands opened in San Antonio, Houston, Beaumont, and other locations coast to coast. Specializing in good food with fast service in an "oldies" atmosphere, the Pig Stand became popular with the young and the old for many years to come. The chain reached its peak in the 1930s with about 130 Pig Stands mostly in Texas and California--including Hollywood! In the initial years the Pig Stand pioneered several food items: Texas toast, deep-fried onion rings, and the country-fried steak sandwich. Not only was the Pig Stand the first restaurant to offer curb and drive-through service, it also was among the first to use fluorescent lighting, neon signs, and air conditioning.
