Black and white photograph of a four Beaver Lumber and Wrecking Company workers with their Ford truck, outside of the building that used to be the Rickenbacker Motor Company Factory at 4815 Cabot Street. One man is sitting behind the wheel of the truck talking to a man standing just outside the driver's door, wearing a hard hat, with his right hand and foot propped against the truck. The other two men are on the roof of the building. In the center of the brick building is the symbol of the company, a hat with a ring around it. This symbol was used because Eddie Rickenbacker was in the 94th Aero Squadron in WWI, which was commonly referred to as the "hat in the ring" squadron.
