Judging by the banners, selection of models, crane frames in
the background, and wicker chairs in the foreground I would
guess this is an exhibit just waiting for Alexander Botts.
 
Actually if you read the book about him from the Saturday evening post,he had the factory make a collection like that. Pick up a copy on Ebay. Crazy and funny.

Along the same line as db4600's post, the picture appears to be of a CAT exhibit at a trade show. Background has a lot of different manufacturer's equipment in it.

Yep.....That appears to be a "Link-Belt" shovel right behind the Big Cat.
Back in '51 when I was 10, the the dirt road by our house was turned into a paved road. They had a small "Link-Belt Speeder"
shovel along with a couple of Cats and two International dump trucks.
What a great memory for a 10 year old boy who loved mechanical stuff!
