The original "Pep Boys" were Emanuel "Manny" Rosenfeld, Maurice "Moe" Strauss, Graham "Jack" Jackson, and Moe Radavitz, four friends who, in August 1921, chipped in $200 apiece to open a single auto parts store. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pep_Boys attached: Enlarged view of the lead image of a new store on August 19, 1940, shortly before it opened. http://theoldmotor.com/?p=162118
