Figure 1.--Here we see a snapshot of an unidenified boy on a trike. The photograph is undated. We would guess it was taken in the early-1920s, but the late-10s is possible. He loks to be bout 5-years old. He wears arather short-cut tunic. .

We still see tunics in the early-20s, but based on the photographic record, the prevalence was sharply declining. This is a litle difficult to assess because so many of the avilable photographs are not dated. Wecan estimate dates, butthatb is not the dame ashaving dated images. Given the the number of images available for the 1920s we see tunics wee much less common in the the 1900s and 10s decades. The photographic record, however, is so lasrge that we do seme examples o btunics. We rarely see tunics by the mid-20s and have found none from the 1930s. The last example we have found comes from a rural Minnesota family in 1926.
