Thanks Steve for you help.

Do you know anything about why the Aluminum is piled on the lawn of the old 1846 Courthouse?
Pictures were taken in 1941 on Jefferson St.

The sign reads ~ Help Make This Aluminum Pile Grow GIVE ALL YOU CAN

This car is a 1926 Duesenburg.
All that can be read of the sign on the door is ~
Aluminum_______case______National Aluminum_________Travis Cadillac
