Here's a great shot! The photo is labeled: Bluebird Studio, 2527 Boardwalk, Q11.
I assume this is the Boardwalk at Atlantic City, NJ, and J. B. (2nd from right) is attending a businessman's conference. That looks like George HOFFMAN (2nd from left), although I can't be sure.
Right, I'll bet you're wondering the same thing. A CONFERENCE FOR WHAT, GANGSTERS?!! They're so Boss!
