Salvage was so critically important. You are talking about a period of time when people were saving bacon grease for the war effort. We could learn some lessons about re-use from WWII

when i was a kid during ww ii, we salvaged everything from string to the foil from gum wrappers and cigarette packages

wow one of my favorites..

Wow! My dad worked for Douglas in later years. Love this photo!

Now we know where Lady Gaga got her start. Seriously, this is an amazing photo, especially in context.

Such sad eyes!

I wonder how her life was.

Newspaper account: SHOP DOOR THEFT. Jane Thompson (40), was charged at North Shields with stealing from the shop door of Messrs W. Gillespie and Son a pair of boots valued at 5s 11d, on the 12th inst. A pawnbroker's assistant spoke to the woman trying to pledge a pair of boots with hi, but failing to give a good account of herself he had her detained and sent for the police. Sergt. Scougal said that when charged she replied that she bought the boos when in company with her husband on Saturday nights. He made inquiries and found this statement to be untrue. Accused, who pleaded not guilty, was fined 10s and costs. --- Shields Daily Gazette, 13 Jul 1904, page 3

wow! royal treatment! :D

this is very sad, the elephant is skinny, distressed and obviously underfeed.

The elephant is holding up its foot to have its shoe fitted. If it were distressed I doubt if the man would be too keen on having its foot resting in his knee. It is probably one of Bostock's famous elephants which all had long happy lives, and were very well fed.

Thw humans are sqauting uncomfortably, arduous labor to make an animals feet comfortsale. Wonder if they had decent wages and accomodations. Wonder if the humans were warm in winter and cool in summer tending to the animals.
