Back in early 2014 local antiques dealer Nora Vasquez asked if I could look at some various sized negative photos she had saved and of course I was interested. The bulk of these were over a hundred in a cardboard box, average sized about 4" x 6" and stored in bunches of wax paper the way they would have been if you ordered photos back in the late 1940s or early mid '50's which is what we estimate the collection to be from. No one has fully studied the collection but we've seen several posted on the Facebook page and here.
One envelope found in the box was Kodak manufactured printed for Alex Studio which was at 1107 S E Washington St., Brownsville, Texas but others might be from Rogers Studio on E Levee or some other photo studio.

My apologies to the Cisneros relative who supplied us with the above information which I embedded on the photo so people can keep the most accurate info about it. I hadn't planned on making this post. Otherwise I would have written up a nice history but if you're resourceful enough you'll find more Cisneros Gas Station photos and info posted on this blog elsewhere. Some of them are colorized by yours truly.
Anyway, it's been a long but good day. God is great.
