bakery shop 1917

A bakery shop in 1917

These pictures of a bakery shop had the note “c. 1917 or 1918″ and the names of the husband and wife who owned it.  I think it’s interesting to see how bakery shops were arranged, and there are pictures of the racks and “behind the counter” at this shop.

Last of the 1930s family photos

I love these cute pictures of children and babies, from the 1930s! It looks like they turned one of the infants pictures into a post card, and I’ve scanned the front and back of it.

Another, from 1889 by Hagendorff of Milwaukee Wisconsin… is this one of the same girl? I like the one of the older woman with glasses in a black [...]

1945 Wedding Reception or Garden Party

I found these slides, of the same couple as the last, in a box labeled “August 9 – 45″, so presumably from 1945 … it looks like they attended a wedding and snapped some family photos, or maybe the wedding picture is just accidentally mixed in. You can see the hat and dress styles of [...]
