Strictly off a guess without checking, the guy on the left is Joe Louis? Ā That makes the guy on the right possibly Max Schmelling (sp?)

EDIT: Schmeling.

Ā 

Correct. They remained lifelong friends. Schmeling later became a very successful business man, owning a Coca-Cola bottling plant. He helped out Louis financially and paid for his funeral.

Ā 

Very very very impressive.

Well, a couple of things tipped me off...

Ā 

#1. I've seen The Road to Wellville;

#3. Being that the photo is 100 years old I guessed, the only man who would pose like that with a healthy drink in his hand was Kellogg.

Ā 

Mu brain works like an insane genius's does sometimes... I will pull stuff from it that shocks even me.
