United States Boys' Clothes: John--Individual Experiences (1930s)


Figure 1.--Here I am with my big brother in our goat cart. Of coursde it is obvious that the tear is 1932. I was 2 years old and my brother was 5 years old.

Here are the pictures I said I would send. The pictures show my older brother and I with our mother. I was born in July 1930 and my brother in 1927, so that should help giving the age of the pictures. We grew up in Shreveport, Louisana. Of course there is no doubt of the year in the picture with the goat cart and license plate. Note the picture in my bib overalls and the worn out toes of the shoes. Kids at this age usually stopped their tricycles by dragging their toes on the sidewalk. There is a of my mother and I. There is a picture of my June 1936 kindergarten graduation. I have included one more picture of my mother at age 19 mounted on a calendar. Love those curls.
