This heretofore unknown photo surfaced in January, 2001 on the "eBay" auction site. Left to right: Little girl must be Alma Genevieve Sauer, age 4. Bearded man is Wendelin Sauer, age 70. Seated couple - anybody's guess - perhaps friends, relatives, or customers - one source mentions that Wendelin’s brother, Thomas, accompanied him to America (He would be age 65 at time of photo). Man behind the counter might have been the "Meiers" who bought the business when Louis (Sr.) died five years after photo. Man on the right is Louis Wendlin Sauer, Sr. Photo could very well have been taken by Louis Wendlin Sauer, Jr., age 11 (avid photo hobbyist).
