Slone 1936 - Mississippi?

This photo is from my mother's collection. I think it was taken somewhere in Mississipi. The back is stamped "Jiminez Studios - Sept 10, 1936" (update: Jiminez Studios was in Ashland KY). I think my father was working in Mississippi on highway construction. Don't know who the lady is on the left, but my mother (Katherine Waggoner Slone) is in the middle and my father (Odes Slone) is on the right. Also not sure about the baby, but it might have been my oldest sister, Maude Ruth Slone Fraley, who was born in March 1936. Dad was 29 and Mom was 26 at the time.

 

The building appears to be a country store or possibly a cafe, and notice that the Texaco gas, sold from the "visible" style pump, was 21 cents per gallon.
