C'mon man! Don't make fun of them, that's all walmart had back then.

 

[GAC05]

Gino, are you the dashing one all the way on the right?

 

[GAC05]

Where's the beaver, Mrs. Cleaver?

 

[Gino]

No silly, I was taking the picture that day.

LOL, I was going to say that.

 

[Cross Signs]

Even "Signpainters" dressed better back then.

He looks about as happy as the sign painters today

Booth just whispered to him about his plans and he looks a little surprised and p!ssed at the same time.

Joke's on you gino, those are window thieves, they are all working simultaneously on different window seals, loosening them up, so they can pluck them all in 3 and a half minutes flat and disappear. The fine dresswear is to assure any and everybody else they are a legit outfit. (this of course being prior to the invention of the clipboard)
You see the same strategies still in use by used car salesmen, insurance salesmen, etc...

Guess what else they didn't have back then? FATSOS. It's really only in the last 30 years that the general population became so overweight.

Boudica - that 1950s housewife was high/stoned/drunk all day long, guaranteed.

When you say it like that, now I wish I was a 1950's housewife!

 

[gnubler]

Nothing is stopping you. I try to be just like her every day of my life and have been good about hiding the empties around my shop in case customers come by.

I have a collection of vintage print shop images if anyone's interested. The workers all looked healthy & happy, not like the bloated, drug-addled angry pressmen you see nowadays.

6 people to clean windows? One for each pane? They had to haul around all those ladders on that rickshaw

Sounds like you have a new boyfriend.

Possibly government "workers".
