This one was made July 30, 1938. Far rite at pump is my dad Ralph Martin, 
center is Hinton Boutwell, Jack Fryer in back leaning on oil rack. Don't know 
any of the others.
The garage in the background between Quaker State & Goodyear signs has an 
interesting story.  In the early 90's Gibson Clower, Attorney, was settling 
the Edge estate. He & my dad went to this garage & had to have a huge tree cut 
down that had grown in front of the door.  After they were able to open the 
door they found an old Dodge that belonged to Dr. Oscar Edge.  Don't know the 
year but it had the old wooden spokes on the wheels so it had to be from the 
20's.  I never did hear what happened to the car but sure someone got a few 
coins.
Take care,
Mack
