We are on the south side of W. 73rd Avenue, just west of Madison Street. So that dirt road in front of the Walter Bros. Garage is the Lincoln Highway.
No one in the photo is identified. Naturally, you'd expect the Walter brothers to be in it, but I don't know which they are.
The 1920 Census lists the three garage operators as Howard (25), Leslie (23) and Clarance (22). They live in the household of their parents, Earnest and Louesa. Last on the list is daughter-in-law Maud, née Shearer, who married Leslie in June 1919.
