This photo was very likely shot in 1939 or 1940 in what was then Walker’s Restaurant (formerly Fitzgerald’s Restaurant, Mel Bobb’s Restaurant, and more, going back to when it was built in 1850 and was then the Smith’s Hotel). Shown in this photo was the soda fountain portion of the restaurant. It had a marble counter, and all of the most modern and first class “soda bar” requirements. We know most of the persons in the photo, but we are not sure of three persons. Can you help?

(Who are the persons in the photo? What other business had a soda fountain? Answers next month.)
