I think these men helped put in the first electric power into Mt Pleasant. A hole in the top of the picture leads me to believe it was nailed to the wall in the Electric shop. My Father (Laban Gunderson) was City Electrician for several years starting about 1927 which could explain why I have this picture.
I have now discovered that Fred (on the left) is my great uncle, Arnst Ferdinand (Fred) Beckstrom. He gave his name in the 1910 Census as Fred Beckstrom. ~Betty
