Parked next to this at the grocery store one day.

Leaving a restaurant after a business lunch, found this parked behind me.

About a year later, I came up behind the same car about a mile from the restaurant. Suspected that I knew whose car it was, IM'd the guy but he denied it.

Kids shirts were probably made from an old table cloth or window drapes. Not sure if this was taken during the Depression or not but certainly reflects hard times. WWII gave alot of young men to ability to better their lot in life through the GI Bill but with the caveat you had to survive first.

I have a shirt my grandmother made for my father in 1931. Hand-made button holes and all. Even a pocket. Looks to have been a bed sheet.

I don’t recall which, flour or potato, but companies heard people were using their product sacks to make clothes so they started adding patterns to them.

And the printed labels would wash out while the patterns stayed.

One of the differentiators between Westinghouse and Edison is that Westinghouse gave a lot of credit to his engineers and employees. The engineers names went on the patents that Westinghouse filed. Edison was not this gracious...

The Marines recruiting requirments were more stringent as far minimum height / weight. The recruitors of all branches saw a lot of Depression era young men that were malnourished, undersize and underweight.

Dude I don't care how grizzled and manly you think you are....no one is shooting a deer point blank in the face....especially if it comes up to you for pets.

That would be some sociopath shit

That's why I carry a knife.

You could always grin it to death like Davey Crockett.

 

[TexPatriot]

Yeah, I'd spare that deer's life.

And things like that caused the lifelong titanic clash of hunter vs. non hunter battling in my head to finally prevail in favor of non hunter. That and age.

Dad had 9 sisters and a brother, Born in 1929 and grew up at the end of the road in the Appalachian mountains. Told me his mother bought a parachute and made shirts out of it. He said those were the worst shirts they ever had. Wouldn't breath and they wouldn't wear out.

Thank you,

I remember my mom reminiscing how my grandmother would cut worn sheets up the middle and sew the outer edges back together to create a new center.

So who here had their sisters hair stuck in the wheel while it was turning 10k RPM?

Flour, potato, animal feed. My grandmother was still getting laying mash,iirc, in those bags in the early 70s. Wasn't fancy like some of what yall have posted. These were plain white bags with a floral border at one end. She used them for everything from potholders to curtains.

We hated when they discontinued those bags and went to the worthless plastic groups sacks.

I remember mom loading us up at 5am in the morning, shoving us in the very back of the chevy blazer. My brother and I slept in the back, while she plowed snow for a bunch of parking lots. No seatbelts, just pillows and blankets.

When the sun came up, we just hung out in the back with our hotwheels.

And George Westinghouse never electrocuted an elephant as a marketing gimmick.

Frying Dumbo was not a good PR move for Edison. Just ‘sayin!
