Back in the Day…

The rural kids in the 50’s rode bikes to school.  You took whatever path was best for you.  This lad looks like he is carrying a string of Christmas lights, but it doesn’t look like winter.  Wonder what’s going on! Also note the bullet holes in the sign, a right of passage in rural America.

This couple pose in an early version of American Gothic, with a groundhog killed on their Manchester farm. It’s dinner!

At least this one won’t be quite as dangerous as the old single wheeled models.  Look in the trailer over the back wheel.  They have their baby in there!

This was the approved way to change the street lamps in 1910.

A hair dryer in the 1920 Salon.  What a contraption!
