The Manning's in e_r's photo shows up for the first time in the 1938 CD at 319 W 5th. This agrees with the earliest date possible inferred by the presence of the streetcar.

I thought the location might have been a movie theater with a stripped-down marquee, but it turns out to have been a Boos Brothers cafeteria for many years before 1938.
