My grandfather wore a jacket and tie to work everyday. He was a carpenter.
And when he got to the job, he would remove the jacket and tie and put on coveralls/overalls. :yesnod:

America has gone to crap. I blame liberalism. :ack:

Solid rubber tires, cylinders cast in pairs, and a coil spring front bumper of which I have not seen on anything this old.
Not only did people have respect and decorum back then, but almost nobody was fat, either. I watched a 1906 film taken in SF before the quake and there were virtually NO fat people. A TON of straw 'boater' hats on the men, though!

And few if any minorities.

Not that minorities are a problem...however, kowtowing to them is destroying America.

Michigan Agricultural College (Moo U) became Michigan State in the early 40’s I believe. I wonder if this picture is actually from East Lansing?

The truck has a USA on the radiator and a US ARMY license plate. It appears the tech is hooking up the magneto in the forward truck....you can see the ignition wires coming from it. These are not the Mack Bulldog trucks used in WW1 with the radiator behind the driver. These are something else I am not familiar with off-hand.
