Harry Wilson Sales Agency, Los Angeles

[barneyguey]

I found out about this outfit while researching Schwinn dealers. Harry Wilson was the Schwinn distributor in California and other close by states. I thought it was cool when I saw these post cards. I've seen photos from the 50's of Harry with 500 club members, like the Gilmore's from San Diego. Barry

There's 180 of them! lol

That's such a bummer, when a long time shop goes down.
We lost Jones Bike Shop in Belmont Shores earlier this year, and it was such a shock to find out, they wouldn't be around anymore.

108 years in the bicycle business, and Bam!
Gone!
I knew, I should've grabbed this bike rack when I had the chance.
Just kidding!
Sort of. Lol!
