My wife commented on how the girls are
probably wearing homemade dresses. She's very
jealous.

It looks as if they're a bit overwhelmed at
all the things to see!
My mother told me that back then they would
buy their flour in large sacks. These sacks
were made of colorful fabric. The mother
would save the fabric and then make dresses
for the children with it.

Possibly younger brother in the center being
"protected"? He looks as if he
needs to find the restroom.

photo's make the past seem real in a way that
B&W cannot.......it is if you were
actually there at that moment in time

I see six sisters, one brother and a mother
in this photo. I am also going to guess that
this mother might be pregnant with another
baby, judging from the way she is holding the
little girl in blue. I love the homemade
matching dresses. I wonder if they are from
feedsacks, as Hippie Gal said, or if Mom
splurged on a bolt of fabric to make these?

The boy is probably lucky his shirt wasn't
made from the same fabric!

Great color! I saw the girls' matching
dresses and guessed that Mom bought a bolt of
the fabric and made all their dresses from
it. I had no clue that flour sacks came in
bright colors and could be re-used! I'd have
to see that.

Chances are those dresses were hand made from
the same bolt of cloth.

I can imagine they each have a few pennies or
a nickel and are deciding where or what to
spend them on. Reminds me of the Sound of
Music when Maria made the children matching
clothes from the curtains! The boy is lucky
to not have that fabric as mentioned above.

Tile: "The last time we seen Pa" or
"I told you to slow down on the
lemonade"
If Ma woulda' had one more yard of calico,
Little Jimmy might have turned out gender
confused. Keep yer eyes peeled for a
restroom, girls. Lord help me. I cannot stop
myself!

"...He looks as if he needs to find the
restroom. "
Good eye, My Symbiosis -- he certainly does! Perhaps that's why
mom and the girls are all looking in
different directions? Hoping to catch a
glimpse of which way the facilities might be? Hmmm... I'm looking at the pic
as if the scene is happening in present time.
Isn't it amazing how a good photo can
transport us right into the time and space
the participants were experiencing?? It's
such a treat that the L.O.C. has made these
old treasures available to us here!

It looks like there is so much commotion at
the state fair, that everybody is looking at
something different! I love the color in the
children's clothes. It reminds me when my
mother used to dress and match my sisters and
me in the same outfits.

Here is an article on feed and flour sacks.
I remember there were patterns that called
for 5 sacks or whatever. I was quite young
but I had feed sack dresses and curtains.
There are now reproductions of those fabrics
that quilters are very fond of and believe me
are pricey. Check out ebay once for them.
