    If I were younger I'd be tempted to get smashed in there (assuming I'd be allowed in).
  • Jeff Coleman said:
    wow, great photo! surprising it's in color!
  • aware health said:
    Wow -- one stop shopping. The precursor to Wal-Mart! Notice that's really a gas pump. You crank that long handle to put whatever amount of gas you want in the tank up top, then drain it into your car with the hose.
  • Jonathan Stiles said:
    Yes, there's a glass container or cistern atop which probably had calibrations on it so that you could count the precise volume pumped.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Social Documentary Photography & events, and we'd love to have your photo added to the group.

    Farmer cooperatives existed in 1940, with some sort of guidance/assistance from the Farm Security Admnistration (FSA)? Interesting - I don't think the FSA exists anymore; I wonder what became of it.

    Maybe it's two children and their mother? Just not clear why they'd say two children when there are clearly three people in the picture.
  • K.Renee' said:
    Why do they have to be called NEGRO children?

    - shortiekyre, I believe that the titles for these pictures are either the original documentation made by the photographer or the curators at the Library of Congress when cataloging these pictures.
