I have always wondered if that Legion hall sign was a Coca Cola sign that once hung in front of Gage's? The wadded up flag at right does not show the star field (48 vs 50), the car headlight (no license plate, to make it harder) I would guess c. 1948.

I thought that was part of the awning not a flag.

The Shell gas station must have been new at this time, I would guess this is 1937 -1941 just from the vehicles/license plates. Note the SOCONY/Texaco pump still in front of Gage's.

c. 1922 "Suburban" model Hatfield, like an early mini van with removable passenger seats, with roll down canvas sides for bad weather.

Be sure to scroll down to see two more snow scene photos -- both of Linn Tractors

Yes, and I believe the guy driving the tractor in that series of photos, was some guy you may have heard of, named Benny Jacobsen.
