The cleanest!

I am guessing those two boys are probably the cleanest kids ever posted on shorpy! I can't imagine living in a time where people simply could not shower/bathe daily.

Everything old is new again. Just look at the showerhead - they're now being sold at high-end prices.

Look at the bottom edge of those shower curtains. That room needs a serious disinfecting. Ewww.
