Photos from the Depression: Part Two



These men worked the rail roads in Chicago. Now that's a tough-as-nails job.

Working in those conditions doesn't afford many opportunities for style, but you can can see where style met function in the 1930s.

The scarves & hankerchiefs these men are wearing kept the cold out, and probably reminded them of the more civilized life they hoped their kids would enjoy.
