Four red framed Kodachromes from 1948. There is a problem with all four pictures - the scene is divided in the center of the slide. Perhaps the film wasn't loaded in the camera properly. I've cropped the samples below. The business district shots appear to be from Pleasanton, Kansas. Businesses pictured include the Tip Toe Inn, Texaco Service Station, Cafe, Garage. click links for more pictures

10 old slides showing the Johnny J. Jones Exposition - a kind of carnival/circus event. A portion of the slides show carnival rides. The balance show people filing behind trailers with animals and some sort of livestock judging contest. It is possible that these are two separate events. This may have taken place in Kansas City, Tennesee or Florida.

One vintage slide that shows the crowd at the in Kansas City in the late 1940s or early 1950s. It ran from September 22nd to September 23rd. That's right friends, it was a TWO DAY show of just dahlias. Not an orchid in sight.

This slide shows a Standard Oil/Mobiloil Service Station near Windsor Castle and Grand Gulf in Florida. The building in the background MAY have been what the photographer was trying to capture. There are 8 or so men sitting on a curb and a man that apepars to be getting out of a car to join them.

About 100 35mm slides from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. There are a few pictures from vacations to Memphis and Miami in 1961 and a few photos of Butler, MO and Pleasanton, KS. I think the majority are of Kansas City, MO pre-1960. The lot includes pictures of the Johnny J Jones Exposition, the Tip Toe Inn Diner, Plaza Christmas lights, O'Rourke Studios, Sears, De Feo Fruit Company, L. Yukon & Sons, Pisciotta Fruit & Vegetable Company, Belton Oil & Sales Company and more. The photographer may have had an association with L. Yukon & Sons.
