This photo shows Harold Fields posing in front of the Cannon Ball Stage Depot in the east 100 block of Seventh Street. Cannon Ball provided yellow cab taxi service and bus transportation around the Four Corners in the 1930s. It expanded to become part of the National Trailways bus system in 1944. In 1955, it moved its operations to Albuquerque and finally ceased operations in 1959. The building shown still exits at 171 E.
