We know the date of this photograph from the movie playing in the Neptune Theater. It was "West Point Widow," starring Anne Shirley and Richard Carlson. The store sold Texaco Gas at this time as can be seen from the Texaco star and fire hats on the pumps. One could send telegrams from here via Western Union. The automobiles parked at the side of the building were a 1939 Plymouth sedan and a 1935 Chevrolet coupe.

This painting is still my property and I have [illegible] decided to present to the library [?] permanent possession. I only ask['ed' struck out] it be treated with respect and not sold or bartered. Painting of this size and character of mine have sold around $2500.00 and I consider this a good example of my work. If the Library committee decides to accept it for its permanent collection I would like a formal acknowledgement Very sincerely yours, Chas. Morris Young I would suggest that the painting be cleaned with a little ivory soap and cold water this will not harm it. Very likely the frame would be improved by regilding with a coat of regular gold paint or powder. C.M.Y.
