The young man posing for the camera is possibly Stan Spiegle, KXRO radio personality and photographer. KXRO first went on the air in Gray's Harbor on May 28, 1928 and was started by Roy Olmsted, a former Seattle, Washington police officer turned "King of the Puget Sound Bootleggers." Olmsted and his cronies used the station during Prohibition to signal rumrunners when it was safe to transport their goods. The Donovan-Corkery Logging Company train car is a Donovan-Corkery Logging Company is a water tanker car used for fighting track side forest fires and protecting track, trestles and bridges on the over 55 mile line that ran just north of Aberdeen up the Wishkah Valley ending near the headwaters of the Wishkah River. The car was later used as an oil car for Simpson Timber and still survives today at Simpsons Camp 1 east of Shelton. The Canal Table Supply Company was located in Hoodsport, Washington. The building was built in 1930 by E. H. Harris and one half was rented to Mr. and Mrs. Guhr, who started a grocery business named the Canal Table Supply. The business changed hands several times over the years, becoming a mercantile and a hardware store. |
