Two Men with Decorated Truck
| Roman Esser and Werner B. Esser stand in front of their truck. They are wearing work clothes. The truck appears to be decorated for a parade. A banner on the side reads, "Standard Oil Company (Indiana) and Red Crown Gasoline. Another sign reads, "Polarine Motor Oil, Made in Five Grades." Containers of products fill the truck bed. In the background is a house. |
