My guess is an Iver Johnson.

I may be wrong, but I"ve never seen an Iver Johnson with a truss that far away from the top tube. That's the first thing I thought too.

Looks like a Schwinn or Mead to me...very cool!

An Iver Johnson would have a two-piece crank. Maybe this is a Columbia arch bar?

columbia i think. two horizontal holes for a badge. here's a link for more visual confirmation.

thanks everyone for your thoughts.. and definately thanks for the picture reference.. i dont think thats it though.. the frame looks dead on but it has vertical holes in the front and different fenders.. but this is the closest thing i have seen to it.. thanks so much.
