Description:
[Ramblers Park, Yakima, WA: n.p., ca. 1930]. One silver gelatin photo, sized 7.5 x 9.25 in., faint pencil annotations on verso (very minor rust mark at upper right corner of blank margin), still VG photo w/ bright contrast. Scarce photo of one of the typical roadside grocery store and filling stations in Ramblers Park, Yakima, Washington on the eve of the Great Depression. The image depicts the building sporting advertising signs for Rainier beer, Coca-Cola, Payne’s Cigars, and Texaco gasoline, with one visible gasoline pump to the side, and Rambo (1868-1942), leaning on the counter, with grandchildren, LaVern, Larry & Lois Ramb, and daughter-in-law Iona Rambo. Ramblers Park is perhaps best remembered for the striking photographs daken by Dorothea Lange while documenting migran labor for the Farm Security Administration in 1939.
