Untraced

“531 C.” is written in the top corner. The address gives no town, only a street off Western Boulevard, so no town is entered here. On the brake-eyes line the printed word “eyes” is struck through and “stop” written above it. The LUGS LINED entry has been heavily scribbled out and cannot be read; the deposit box is marked “Yes” with no amount.
