Trucks heading to work

I'm putting this picture on my blog with no memory of where I got it. It makes me think of the Great Depression and the work that was done during the 30's and very early 40's by the WPA and the CCC. I put up a blog a few months ago regarding a relative's discharge papers from the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1941. He was shipped from California back to Georgia and was about 17 years old.

Could this have been in his estate pictures? The first guy beside the truck stands like he did. The amazing thing to me, and puzzling, is that the trucks are the same (at least in my eyes), they are lined up between rows of trees and it looks like a person may be beside each truck. Were they ready for work?

If any of you have an idea about what is going on here, comment and let me know.

EXIT Realty Deaton Group Leads Volume Growth for 2nd Year in a Row

27% Increase in Volume Growth in 2009

Little Rock, Arkansas (Grassroots Newswire) March 10, 2010 -- Even though Arkansas' real estate volume dropped, and many markets saw another year of lower volume, EXIT Realty Deaton Group experienced a significant increase for the 2nd year in a row. Sales Volume for 2009 compared to previous year was up 27% for EXIT Realty Deaton Group. This was the largest percentage increase of any of the top real estate firms in the Little Rock REALTORS Association. Within the LRRA's top firms, only 5 firms experienced any growth at all, with EXIT Realty representing the only double digit increase. "Even during these slower years of 2008 & 2009, our agents increased their business by double digits both years. Our 2009 increase of 27% was preceeded by a 19% increase in 2008," states Scott Deaton, Broker/Owner of EXIT Realty Deaton Group. "Most of the other firms throughout the Little Rock area saw double digit decreases each of the past two years. I attribute our growth and success to the training and professionalism of our agents. Our training and tools at EXIT Realty Deaton Group, provide an opportunity for our agents to continue to grow their business even when the market is soft. Now that the market is beginning to improve nationwide, our agent's success here locally will only continue to grow as well," continues Deaton. The annual volume data for each firm within the Little Rock area was provided by the Cooperative Arkansas REALTORS MLS, Inc. which maintains and tracks the actual production volume of each firm within its organization. The supported graph providing a visible representation of some of the volume increase and decrease of local firms is available at http://root.z57.com/filemanager/uploads/4/9/49635ec8-93c7-f0ae-e8ec38e295a9b8c5.pdf
