February 9, 2017 APPLE JACK: 1942. November 1942. Washington, D.C. "Young huckster in the Southwest section." Gordon Parks, OWI. Not sure what he is carrying in the basket. Could be apples, but I think way too round.
February 6, 2017 AMERICAN GAS: 1942. November 1942. Washington, D.C. "Negro mechanic for the Amoco oil company." Gordon Parks, OWI
I couldn't see the price of the gas, but one comment said it was 18.7 cents a gallon, adjusted for inflation for today it would be $2.80.

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.
