Toledo Scale

I couldn't pass up taking a picture of this old scale in Owen's Deli and Grocery. The background is cluttered and the picture soft, but I still like the picture. "Since 1901, the name Toledo Scale has represented the highest quality, most reliable scales available." And they are still available today.

Indeed, there is an honesty about the whole scene. Not a lot of it about these days . .
