Interesting this Mayor Farrow... his family still owns a company to this day.
Here's a little history: http://www.farrow.com/farrow-history
I wonder if A.E. Cock, was one of the Cock Brothers store downtown in the 1940's and '50's?
Good lookin bunch... I hope men start wearing hats again!
Too bad the plaque for the Walkerville viaduct went "magically" missing when they tore it down.
Great picture! They look like a group of Chicago gangsters from Capone's days.
