@juan: 100 points

Juan wins another 100 points by identifying the railway men's convention.  This was a particularly fun quiz to put together because really, those guys could fit any of the occupational categories.  If I had been playing I would have probably guessed bartenders or florists.  Anyway, they appear to be a fun loving bunch.  Not too sure what was going on in this separate picture that was cut off from the longer group photo.  (I just now noticed the date of the convention.  July 16, 1919.)

@whoozit: 100 points

Once again Mr. whoozit is the first out of the gate and with a correct answer at that.  He wins the race and also 100 points.

@FISH: 25 points
@ShayP: 25 points


FISH and Shay grab 25 points because the above postcard was produced in 1943 but Thousand Oaks wasn't incorporated as a town until 1964.  Therefore this was a trick answer of sorts so FISH and Shay both deserve 25 points.
