Trailer Talk: 1943
August 1943. "Middle River, a small crossroads in the vicinity of Baltimore, Maryland. Farm Security Administration housing project for Martin aircraft workers. Mrs. Helen Bird, USO traveler's aide, giving information to a newcomer in the Glenn L. Martin trailer village." Photo by John Collier. View full size.
Flooring
That linoleum bears a strong resemblance to the kitchen flooring of my youth. It looked like an explosion in a paint factory. As a young adult, I gave it the moniker 'Brain Damage'.
[It also looks like our kitchen floor, which was already in place when I was old enough to start noticing things in the mid-50s.]
Oooh, that smell!
I can smell that trailer right now. The wood, canvas, varnish, rubber, books, and fabric. No plastics or synthetics. That's the smell of my early childhood.
