after spending about 10 hours trying to track down other art this artist did, before I found out that he changed his name from Oehrle to Early, and a couple hours after, now I discover that he had some advertising paintings for Mobilgas? Dang, he really landed a good client!
Well, to put some perspective on it, Norman Rockwell was also painting ads for them, at the same time. THAT is a lot of competition, and they hired other artists too, like Howard Scott, Frederick Stanley, and McClelland Barclay
for comparison, here's a Frederick Stanley
I think if they didn't sign them, we'd have a hard time picking which artist did what painting.
