Description
April Calendar page features a black and white photo of Frank Lozano wearing coveralls and a hat while standing in front of his service station and auto repair shop. The service station is a drive through structure with a sign that says "Frank Lozano Service Station" , a sign that says "stop your motor - No Smoking" and there are two visible handcrank gas pumps behind Frank. In the background is the Auto Repair Shop with two dark colored open sided cars (possibly Model T) in front of the shop. Below the photo is a description that reads: "In the mid 1920's to the early 1930's, Frank Lozano, standing in front of his service station, was the first Mexican American in Riverside to own a Service Station and Auto Repair Shop. It was located on Park Avenue between Eleventh Street and Twelfth Street. Photo courtesy of Grandson and wife, Larry and Jenny Gil".
