This is rather cool. Shared with me by Gil Cividanes who writes "The photo taken in front of a [Francoist] Spanish grocery on West 14th Street, NYC in about 1937. The girl on left is my aunt Zazi aged 18-19, the woman to her right is my grandmother's friend Doña Francisca." Don't buy fascist goods.
