Germantown Boys at New Milford

I got this from Mark at New Milford Deli.  He got it from Peter Martin.  At first, not a clue.  With the help of Sue Gardner we figured out that the photo was taken in front of the old Conklin & Strong               store in New Milford.  Sue matched the architecture of the original store.  I had been going through the old newspapers on microfilm and found a Germantown camp at Lake Wawayanda and it all came together. This puts it very early 20th century.  These guys were campers.
