    This is an 8" X 20" panoramic pic of employees an' trucks at one of several co-op branches early inna 20th C. But I can't say with any certainty what year it was taken. I'm hoping some of you will be able, based on hairstyles an' garments, to put these working-class folks into a ~5 year frame for me. Your other comments an' observations are welcome, too! Thanks for lookin!

    Bobbed hair and natural waists. At a glance, I'd think late 1920s into early 1930s. Vehicles more definitive.

    Vehicles can give you a "date after which", but may have remained in service for some time.

    Yes, of course. An earliest date.

    Mid-'30s, I'd guess. Somewhere there are high school group pictures from my father's time. Very similar fashions and hair.
