Ohop Valley ca. 1940
Ohop Valley ca. 1940

I thought maybe the date on this calendar was 1940 — since the phone number was MArket 7-6808. (In 1940 Glen Miller recorded  Glenn Miller “PEnnsylvania 6-5000″, which was the telephone number for the Hotel Pennsylvania.)

However, Don from Evergreen Equipment tells me it was around 1972.

“Evergreen Equipment was started in 1956 by Harold Flowers and Jim Moergeli. My dad, Don Hendershot, moved his family up here from California in 1962 to go to work for them. When Harold and Jim wanted to retire, my dad bought the business in 1978 and moved it to it’s present location, 221 Puyallup Ave. And we still have the original phone number, 627-6808 —  used to be MA-7.
I remember seeing those calendars as a kid. This picture is at least from 1972 or newer, because they didn’t start selling Stihl products until then.
