Shorpy Home Front Photos: Apple Jack and Gasoline

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.
