Different they were, man we're panzies in this day and age. Just look at us looking at them from the comfort of our carpeted homes and offices. Makes me want to go live in a shack. Or not; I like temperature control.

Whimsical and shows that they sure didn't worry about people stealing their wares in this time and age. I love the colors in this photo and all the different shapes of plumbing supplies. Its like looking at a puzzle. The more you look the more you see something new.
