from Bruce Ferguson: "The other picture of Cecil, my Dad, and Uncle; it was taken from inside the warehouse. The cannery had two railroad loading docks. This branch line of the N.P. Railroad, ran to Everett. [same tracks the Snohomish Trolley used].
The cases on the conveyor, happen to be clam chowder. The chowder was boxed in white card board boxes, 24 cans per box. The railroad box car, belongs to the Wabash Railroad. Their logo can be seen on the outside of the box car [a flag on a staff]. You can see the markings of a "W" on the flag. The Wabash was a East Coast railroad, so I would think this is where the chowder is going. The picture was taken around 1954 [?].
Look at both pictures ... Cecil is using the same pose, using his fore arm in the same way.
from Margaret Riddle: "I'm guessing about 8 years old, based on this info from David Dilgard at the Everett Library: Barnes and Evans were in partnership in Snohomish only from the fall of 1888 to 1889. There is always a possibility, however, that one of the photographers continued using old studio mounting cards after that time, but at least this is a good guess.
