From the September 8, 2016, Shorpy Old Photo site.
ORCHARD PARK: 1943.
May 1943. "Buffalo, New York. Peter Grimm, age 10, delivers for Loblaw's grocery store with his wagon. This was a rainy day with few customers.
"Sometimes Peter makes as much as $3 on a Saturday. He pays for all of his school supplies and much of his clothing. His mother, a 26-year-old widow, is a crane operator at Pratt & Letchworth."

The photo shows stacks of Orchard Park Brand Tomato Juice. Peter's image is captured in a reflection behind the cans.

The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
