Peter Beal the Peanut Man

Peter Beal the Peanut Man

Looking for any information whatsoever about a character called "Peter Beal" (or Beale), a.k.a. "The Peanut Man." This photo of him appears in the lobby of a large Tucson hotel. Strangely enough, the Arizona Historical Society has no information on him beyond the photo and the name. You'd think a man who would wear a suit covered with peanuts in the shell would live in everyone's memory, forever & ever.

Anyone?
