Vintage Scenes From Kansas, Part I

LambBustToBoom04

Today I thought I’d share a few great pics from one of my documentary photograph books, “Bust To Boom.” Love the girl cradling her lamb and the post-meal shot below.

I find the one below interesting because of the swell framed pin-up drinking soda (Did he seriously frame that?) and the phrase “checking his waybills.”

  3. My thought on the top photo, Kerbey: Don’t hog the lamb, honey!

    Nothing at all looks happy about the middle photo, despite the completion of a big meal, including the description of the one gentleman’s father as a rehabilitation client.

    And in the third photo, the conductor sitting below the soda pinup that caught your eye, Kerbey, reminds me of Ray Bolger, the actor who played the Straw Man in “The Wizard of Oz.”
