Where was this picture taken, why was it taken of the crowd, and what was going on that day to cause a crowd?
Can anyone really answer these questions?
these people are attending a bridge opening! South Fork Bridge Reopening, in Gold Bridge, British Columbia.

You could probably find the guy. He apparently was in the Army Air Corps, maybe in a bomber crew, and he worked for Marathon Oil in California.

While I think Blue Shift is onto something, I just looked up the history of Marathon Oil, and it didn't come into name until 1962. Before that, it was The Ohio Oil Company, which was expanding, and bought Lincoln Oil Refining Co and Transcontinental Oil Company. Transcontinental Oil had a picture of a marathon runner, and in 1962, they changed their name to Marathon.

Your sunglasses are close but not a 100% match. I do not see any evidence of any kind of jacket, more like a college sweater (from another website), and the Marathon Oil t-shirt looks like a winner. But it has to be 1940 as that is the year (November) that the bridge was reoppened after a flood. Look up the history.

In 1962 The Ohio changed its named to Marathon Oil and entered the wholesale gasoline business
Nothing in this photo looks out of place. The "mohawked" guy is wearing the correct style of clothing, along with the correct style of suspenders. It could be a number of things actually. It could be a toupee falling off, or since he looks like a worker, it could be that he injured his head(hardhats weren't around then), and he had to get stitches, resulting in the doctors shaving part of his hair....or, it could just be a mohawk?

No, it isn't photoshopped. It's actually an art photo, etc., but I'll have to look up the source again.
EDIT: Actually, the source is in the first photo, lower left hand corner.edit on 8-12-2010 by Gazrok because: (no reason given)
