W E “P” Reed (1869–1956) was a hunting guide. Sometimes men from big cities with companies like Armour & Co would come to Mena to hunt. The fourth man from the left in the background is a neighbor and friend, Willard Reid.
That’s not his vehicle. He didn’t own one and didn’t drive. His son, C.H. Reed said that in 1934, some Armour and Coca-Cola officials came down from Oklahoma City on a hunting trip at Mill Creek. W.E. Reed and Rass Turner were their hunting guides. This photo is of W.E. Reed and the deer he killed on that trip.
