I noticed that was back in the day when you only had 4 numbers as a phone number. I remember those days. Simpler times…
Brian,
Good one. I wish we had more photos of men and women at work, but in fact they seem very hard to come by. I suppose a lot of suppositions-perhaps erronious ones, went into not recording such things. Two things have been fairly well photographed for specific periods: child and women’s labor at the turn of the last century, and farm labor in the depression era.
