May 1908. Union County, New Jersey. "Golf caddies at Baltusrol." 5x7 glass negative, George Grantham Bain Collection. View full size. How much to carry your bag sir?Baltusrol Golf Club is a 72 hole private club, this photo must have been taken on what is now the Upper Course as the Lower wasn't built until 1922. The course has held the US Open 7 times and the PGA once. According to their website caddy fees are $70 per bag, wonder how much these guys got? Bag feesI'd say based on this being a very exclusive club, plus the well-dressed look of most of the caddies and the general fees of the time, the club probably charged a buck per round of 18; of that, maybe half actually went to the caddie. With good service (resulting in good tips), a caddie may have actually made a full dollar per round. For reference, I found information regarding caddy fees at Inverness from the early 1900's, which stated "The book listed caddie fees of eighty cents for eighteen holes, forty cents for nine holes, and thirty cents per hour for chasing practice balls."

Here is another image from the album I purchased. I can only imagine how itchy and hot their wool bathing suits were to wear on the sunny beach at Atlantic City. Note: I "assume" this is Atlantic City. Does anybody have any information regarding the "Globe" (theatre?) sign in the back ground to substantiate this being Atlantic City? Globe TheatreThere was apparently a Globe Theatre in Atlantic City: http://cinematreasures.org/theater/17056/ and http://scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/eaa/maxwell/M03/M0357-72dpi.jpeg (also linked to by the above article) looks like it could be a later picture of the same area of the Boardwalk. BTW, the people-powered "taxis" (I don't recall what they were called - "jitneys" I think) in the 1922 photo were still in use into the 1960s, I remember seeing them as a child. Globe TheatreWhen I was growing up in Ventnor, (next to Atlantic City) in the fifties, the Globe was notorious as a burlesque theatre. My friends and I would never dream of trying to go in, but we gasped at some of the racy pictures posted outside. Today, they'd be considered mild, I guess. As for "jitneys," the word refers to the small-capacity (about 12 passengers) busses that run on Pacific Avenue only and only in Atlantic City, not downbeach to the rest of Absecon Island. [The jitneys mentioned below were not buses. - Dave] (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Well, I'll do it Mr. Mambert, you worked too hard in life to go with no comment being made. 'A ScaredMal, I think all the other Shorpyites were too chicken to post here. Successful Chicken FarmerMy father established a Chicken Farm in Barnegat, New Jersey in 1922 and had an average of 4,000 white leghorns for the next 34 years. He also raised vegetables and sold them at a farm stand in the front yard of the house, ending in fall of 1987. He came to America in 1911, from northern Italy, and soon thereafter his mother and five sisters came too, all passing through Ellis Island and all of their immigration activity was possible because of a cousin that had come to New York City years before and established a successful store. My father lived to be almost 98, so I know that the chicken business and farming was and still can be a successful way of life. I spent hundreds of hours working at the farm, starting around 1945 at the age of 5, until September, 1958. It would be nice to see more postings of all types of farms in America during the past 100 years and read about their success and in many cases their continuation with younger generations.

Hotel De Ville de Montreal Interestingly enough, 119 years later Montreal City Hall is undergoing major renovations and all the offices inside (including the mayor's) have been temporarily relocated in other city buildings. My street!I live on an avenue in Montreal called Hôtel de Ville which would run straight down to City Hall (Hôtel de Ville, en français) were it not for the various breaks caused by a housing development and a sunken expressway. But it’s a straight line as the crow flies, almost 2 km (1.2 miles). The building is still there, by the way, and still functions as City Hall.

Due to my Grandfather's work with Pierce Arrow, I took a stab at guessing the location. Using Google maps and some online history of the Statler Hotel I was able to match the image to Detroit's Grand Circus Park. The next guess is the date. Possibly about 1915-20. View full size. The StatlerThe photo dates to about 1922-23. The Hotel Statler (left) was completed in 1923. There was another building finished about the same time that should be just to the left of the tall, gabled one at right. But since it's not shown yet (it's not quite the size of the "big three" in this view, but bigger than what's on its property), I'm thinking the pic had to be from 1922 before the Statler actually opened or the other structure got well underway.

Work ethicGerman shepherds are never happier than when they think themselves usefully employed. No sofa and bon-bons for Tut! Logical dog name in 1929The world was astounded in 1922 when it was announced that Tutankhamun's tomb had been discovered and as his multiple treasures were revealed after some 3,000 yrs., everybody became intrigued with ancient Egyptian styles in every facet of fashion and design. King Tut's possessions inspired the trends of that era for at least the next two or three decades and his name became synonymous with the finest, ultimate quality ever imagined. Hence, Hoover apparently adored this fine German police dog and tagged him with that revered name. (The Gallery, D.C., Dogs, Harris + Ewing)

At the Store with the Checkerboard SignI found over 800 ads placed by Coburn Bros. from the first on February 6, 1912 (for Fairchild's Flour) to the last placed on October 18, 1935 (for New Timothy Seed). On January 1, 1936 Ramey's Feed Stores of Wheelersburg began advertising as the "Seccessors to Coburn Bros., Portsmouth." There are also a handful of articles which indicate that the business was started sometime before 1909. They bought out a rival feed company early in 1925 (Horr Bros.), and expanded into the old Wheelersburg Milling Company building with a branch plant in that city. In the spring of 1927 they opened a third location in Lucasville, and the next year another in Minford. Within a few years the last two locations were dropped from their advertising. News items included such tidbits as: October 1909 - Oscar Coburn Jr. was operated upon for fistula, and by the 1st of November was reported to soon be back at his post at "Coburn Bros., the Kendall avenue millers." July 1911 - "A team of horses belonging to Coburn Bros. went down" on East Gallis Street, as automobile tires picked up oil from the freshly oiled Gallia Pike and deposited it on the paved street, making it as "slippery as glass." May 1915 - Complaints were made of a foul water pond in back of the Coburn feed mill ("said to be full of dead animals and rotten corn cobs"). October 1916 - Thieves broke into office of the flouring mill by "jimmying" a back window. They completely ransacked the place and broke open two locked desks, but nothing was taken. "The safe was unlocked and always is." May 1927 - Fire swept through Wheelersburg, destroying much of the town, including the Coburn Bros. mill. Within 30 days construction began on a fireproof building to replace the old Coburn frame structure September 1927 - A small fire broke out in a cabin near the Portsmouth mill and "Employees of the CBM and outsiders used water and chemicals from the mill to extinguish the blaze before the firemen...arrived upon the scene."

We have have currently what is called the Cavendish banana which is also on the way out. The Cavendish banana is virtually tasteless compared to the Big Mike which was a lot sweeter and more creamier, tasted more like candy according to people who were fortunate enough to try one. -Al He's Got A Lovely Bunch Of Bananas"Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head." The photo location is in front of the National Fruit Company, Inc. building (921 Louisiana Ave.). If you wanted fruit, produce, meat, fish, butter, soft drinks, or poultry this was the block of the city to go. Almost nothing else was there except for two restaurants and a guy selling birds (another poultry dealer?). The Mack Truck is a Model AB with either worm drive (note the lack of chains) made between 1916-1919 or double reduction drive 1920-1937. Chain drive remained an option. The International Motor Co. (IMC) name on the side of the truck refers to the holding company that owned Mack at that time (previously also selling Hewitt and Saurer trucks). In 1922 IMC changed their name to Mack Truck, Incorporated to avoid confusion with International Harvester. (The Gallery, Cars, Trucks, Buses, D.C., Natl Photo, Stores & Markets)

I believe that one of these men was an uncle of one of my parents. It was likely taken during WWI. These guys appear to be extremely physically fit and I'm sure they acquitted themselves well in their service. View full size. Battle FleetThe Battle Fleet (later Battle Force) was part of the Navy's organization from 1922 to 1941. If this was not taken on the West Virginia (BB-48) then perhaps it was on another ship that was hosting the All Navy competition. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Fleet ACR West VirginiaThat's the Armored Cruiser West Virginia, not the battleship. The proof is not so much the caliber of the barrel but their length, although those are not 14" guns. ACR West Virginia had 8" guns, which were Battleship size just ten years earlier than her design. But all of the Pennsylvana class cruisers had relatively short barrels and an open foredeck while the Colorado class Battleships had a much longer barrel as it was standardized length, but would need to be long enough to superfire over the last A turret when mounted in a B turret. Addtionally, Colorado's didn't have the open foredeck, they had a gunwale that would have been obvious in this picture, as it would be where the sailors are arrayed. However, that does mean this is NOT a World War I photo, but one taken shortly before the war, say 1916ish. Probably the Second USS West VirginiaThe first ship of this name was an armored cruiser, renamed the USS Huntington in 1916. The battleship West Virginia was commissioned in December 1923. The guns behind the sailors appear to be much too large for an AC. The photo probably was taken on the battleship in the late 1920s. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Never heard of a ship being launched with a head of steam already going! [If only you had been there to guide them! -Dave] She led a short lifeThe battleship (BB-15) Georgia spent the majority of her career in the Atlantic Fleet. In 1907, she took part in the Jamestown Exposition and suffered an explosion in her aft 8-inch gun turret that killed or wounded 21 men. At the end of the year, she joined the Great White Fleet on its circumnavigation of the globe, which ended in early 1909. Peacetime training followed for the next five years, and in 1914 she cruised in Mexican waters to protect American interests during the Mexican Revolution. In early 1916, the ship was temporarily decommissioned. When the United States entered World War I in April 1917, the ship was tasked with training naval recruits for the expanding wartime fleet. Starting in September 1918, she was used as a convoy escort. Her only casualties during the war were due to disease, the result of poor conditions and severe overcrowding aboard the ship. Georgia was used to transport American soldiers back from France in 1918-19, and the following year she was transferred to the Pacific Fleet, where she served as the flagship of the 2nd Division, 1st Squadron. The Washington Naval Treaty, signed in 1922, cut short the ship's career, as it mandated severe draw-downs in naval strength. Georgia was accordingly sold for scrap in November 1923. Unsafe ActsBetween the climbers on the scaffolding, the roof watchers, and the folks standing on the rickety piles of lumber, surely this event ended with at least one ankle sprain, bruised kneecap, or broken leg.

The greatest reception given to any organization of returning soldiers at Chicago was given to the 13th Railway Engineers on May 12. Its welcome to its home town was unequaled in point of enthusiasm and spectacular expression in the after war history of the city. Approximately 100,000 people banked Michigan Boulevard on both sides and maintained a bedlam of noise as the regiment paraded in platoon formation. Employees of the six railroads centering in Chicago from which the 13th Engineers was mainly recruited were organized in groups along Michigan Boulevard to welcome the men. -— Railway Age and Railway Review, 1919 During World War I, the regiment known as the 13th Engineers consisted of personnel from the six largest railroads that ran through Chicago; it operated about 142 kilometers of French railways, serving the Verdun-St. Mihiel, Champagne-Marne, and Meuse Argonne sections. The scan is from a family photo album titled "My Vacation Days," with dates ranging from 1914 to 1922. Delayed ReturnI wonder if they really took this long from the end of the war to get back or if their skills were so sorely needed post-armistice that they had much work to do getting European railroads back into action again. [It's the parade that was delayed. Because Chicago winters. - Dave] Marching OrdersThe Michigan Avenue marchers are rapidly approaching the intersection of Michigan and E. Van Buren Street which would have crossed right in front of the tallest building in the picture to the left. Except for the gabled building (4th from left-front) which has been replaced with a building which respects the design of the other two buildings to the left, all those buildings exist today, including the small 5-story building which now has a remodeled facade. At the time of this parade, there would have been a railroad switch yard between Michigan Avenue and a much smaller Grant Park. The tracks were subsequently lowered and covered over to make a much larger Grant Park which now borders Michigan Avenue. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Northern Indiana between 1920 and 1922. The tall thin man in the middle is my grandfather, Roy Swank. We're trying to figure out what kind of car this is. My mom looked online for historical plates in Indiana and decided the license plate is from 1920. people (left to right) are Jacob Brumbaugh, Kate Schwab Brumbaugh, Roy Swank, Helen Welch Swank (Roy's first wife) Elizabeth Schwab Swank (and sister to Kate). Perhaps behind Elizabeth is Paul Price, who would be Jacob and Kate's son-in-law. Can anyone tell us what kind of car that is? View full size. 1913-14 SaxonThe car is a 1913 or 1914 Saxon roadster. In 1915 Saxon switched to electric headlights. It sold new for $395. (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Colorized from black & white here. My Grandfather, Donald Dickinson Jenne was born in Rochester, NY in 1891. His family lived in Elgin Illinois at the time, so I can only suppose that they were visiting relatives or traveling back to see family. In 1919 Donald and Gladys Jenness were married in Minneapolis, MN. In August of 1922, their first child, daughter Priscilla Marguerite was born. In July 1923 they posed here at the lake house in northern Wisconsin on Lac Courtes 'Oreilles. His obvious joy in her is so wonderful. Her expression is one she carried with her all her life. A beautiful and direct smile. Priscilla is my mother. View full size. Timeless photoThis is such a wonderful picture because you can really sense the happiness they share as if you're seeing it in person. It's a visual reminder of what really matters in life. Thanks for sharing this! (ShorpyBlog, Member Gallery)

Since the Brittons, Carpenters, and Tylers have already made their appearances in the Shorpy Blog, I thought I'd better post something from my father's side of the family. So here's Dad, about age 3 in 1922, with his parents, Steve and Elsie (Peiser) Miller. They all look pretty dubious of the photographer's abilities, don't they?
