Figure 1.-- We notice the two younger boys, Roger and Chester, photographed in brand new matching cut-away jacket suits. he boys were close in age and often dressed alike. They look to be about 5-6 years old here. The boys have caps that look like turned down swabbie caps. The caps matched the suit. We can not tell, however just what color the suits were other than it was a light color. The suits had cut away jackets and matching knee pants aswell as contrasting white vests. Click on the image to see how the boys hld up their pants and stockings.

We can not tell, however just what color the suits were other than it was a light color. The suits had cut away jackets and matching knee pants aswell as contrasting white vests. This was not a very common style by the 1910s. A much more popular style for younger boys were Oliver Twist suits. The boys also wear small floppy bows. They look to have Peter and collars which might have been part of a blouse. They were worn with white long stockings and "T' strap sandals. We are not sure what color the sandals were, probably tan. They were photographed in their back yard by a white picket fence. Click on the image to see how the boys hld up their pants and stockings.
