Here is a rarity. This pic is actually from my family. I was going thru old pics recently and found it. This kid is my cousin and the pic was taken in the 1940s, in west. Texas:

October 1942. Chicago, Illinois. "Salvage. To feed the nation's munitions furnaces, tons of scrap from America's attics and basements are collected every day. Here, a junkman unloads his wagon in a central depot, where the scrap will be segregated and graded for shipment to steel mills."

Everything that wasn't nailed down was scrapped in 1915-1918 during WWI. Civil War canons were disappearing from parks & battlefields overnight.

A small pic, but interesting to someone like me. "1920, Dublin. British Troops guarding the Hibernian Bank on the corner of O’Connell Street and Abbey Street during the War of Independence"

My caps....I'm not really a fedora guy, I like caps.
One cotton, one wool, one houndstooth, two herringbone and one tweed. The tweed, herringbones
The tweed and herringbones are my favorites for Fall/Winter and of course white cotton for summer.
I have three caps made by Carol at the Hat People in Oregon. She knows how to make caps!!!!

That fellow on the far right holding what appears to be a liquor bottle doesn't look too happy.Plenty to be found among these hard working men:
From what I've heard, the entire famous photo was staged. They're real iron workers, but the photo was staged to promote the construction of Rockefeller Center (which is what they're using that girder to build). Maybe the photographer just told him to look sad?
