Eventually home to a McDonald’s

In the early 1930s, Gunnar Pearson, far left, operated this garage at Indiana and Monroe in Spokane. Originally Gunnar and his brother Swan, far right, worked as mechanics at Armour’s Packing Co. Gunnar eventually bought out his brother and continued to operate the business for many years. A McDonald’s restaurant now stands at the site. The man second from the right is Ernest Ohland, Gunnar Pearson’s brother-in-law. The fourth man is unidentified.
