To the Editor, I really like the new P.B. Vintage photos, but I don't think the photo last week is Poplar Bluff. The photo can be dated by the automobiles in it.

To the Editor,

I really like the new P.B. Vintage photos, but I don't think the photo last week is Poplar Bluff. The photo can be dated by the automobiles in it. Visible under the lead horse is a 1955 Chevrolet, to the right of the rear wheel of the wagon is an early fifties Buick Roadmaster, to the left of the wheel is a 1963 Ford station wagon. The background to the right appears to be open country with a high ridge and trees. A photo taken at 5th and Park in the early sixties would have no open country, only buildings.
