Thanks for posting the link.

The last photo on the first page titled Home Office - 1941 reminds me of my Dad. He worked for the New York Central Railroad, and wore blue denim overalls and work boots every day. After supper, he would sit down at the kitchen table and complete his work reports for the day. He even had the same glasses as the guy in the picture. He was a track foreman, and had to record in detail, all the work the crew had done that day. He'd make it out in duplicate using carbon paper, and keep a copy for himself. We even had a washing machine like that in our basement. I bet that cupboard behind the guy would go for a pretty penny today. We also had a clock like the one on top of it. I was born in 1947, so I'm talking about the 50's in regards to my Dad.
