It was an afternoon in 1942 and someone was busy with a camera at Howard and Cal Shearer's Sinclair gas station, on the southwest corner of 10th and Lincoln. The resulting photos have come down to us, and blessings be upon the hand that noted the date, location and subjects' names on the backs of those photos.

Above we have (left to right): Dick Mackin, Tom Farlow and Cal Shearer.

This fellow pumping gas at 14.5 cents per gallon is Melvin Schultz.



I am told that they also sold groceries here.
