Muffler Man - Starvin' Marvin This Muffler Man hasn't been confirmed as still in the Roseville area since we first spotted him in 1991. So we dug into our archived photo negatives and found a few more details.
He was on the east side of Highway 67, not in town, and stood in front of a business labeled "Hawk Co." (there is a Hawk Seed Co.'s listed in town today). The building has a sign identifying the Hawk Co as a "Northrup King dealer," so it is/was apparently a seed business.
The Muffler Man at the time had a Broot Union Carbide baseball cap, "Hawk Co." written over his left pocket, and "Starvin' Marvin" over his right pocket.
This M-Man may have been sold or moved on to another location. Or just starved to death. [Roadsideamerica.com Team, 08/22/2007]
