Gary, BIG THANKS for the trade show pix, man! Some great -- and some quaint or odd! --
products and inventions there. This soda-fountain shot really grabs the eye, doesn't it?
Turns out that clicking on some of these photos reveals some fab facts explaining the who,
when and why background! The soda fountain is explained (I paraphrase):

At the time of the 1935 Pacific International Exposition in San Diego, soda fountains were
very popular, and impersonal coin-op "pop" dispensing machines had not yet displaced
them. Known at the time for using provocative artists like Wyeth and Rockwell, Atlanta-
based Coca Cola created this show-piece Art Deco fountain for the expo, featuring black
marble over a tableau of water nymphs. To me, this photo speaks of a time when human
attendants, not machines, still manned a plethora of posts, back before automation and
self-serve eliminated so many jobs.

We LOVE camping pix on this thread, eh? Two women sit in a very early Hudson
parked by a tent. Pensacola, circa 1909. Thanks to the Florida Memory Project!

Still a nice picture, though.
