This photo is of Henry Banman (left) and Kronsgart (Manitoba) elevator operator Sherman Godkin standing outside by Banman's store in their work clothes. There is a bicycle on the left.
Banman's store was originally the Hamburg Old Colony church building (Manitoba). After the move to Mexico in the early 1920s, the church building was cut in half, placed on wagons and moved to Kronsgart by William Enns in 1926. Here Banman put the two halves together and made it into a store. To the right on the photo can be seen the seam created after the building was cut in half. By 1932 the building was no longer in use.
