This group shot was a do-it-yourself poster (2' X 3') that the boys had done , possibly from one of those matchbook ads ("...blow up your photo to a poster!").  They are holding an old wooden sign for the Floating Bridge. The sign supposedly hung in the back room of the Blue Moon Tavern near the Seattle U District on 45th for many years.   Bruce Partridge
