Election Day

Campaign button looks more like Wendell Willkie than FDR - certainly not WC Fields!

I want to be there

Submitted by drawsing on Mon, 01/14/2019 - 6:49am.

Something about this photo really pulls at me. I want to sit with these guys and just listen to the conversation. I also want a pair of boots like that young man has.

Human felicity

Submitted by slr in tx on Sat, 01/12/2019 - 3:01pm.

"There is nothing which has yet been contrived by man, by which so much happiness is produced as by a good tavern or inn." --Samuel Johnson

Greco-Italian War

Submitted by PattyMc on Sat, 01/12/2019 - 2:50pm.

The Greco-Italian War of 1940 was a part of World War II. Fascist Italy invaded Greece from Albania on October 28, 1940. They were repulsed by the Greek Army back beyond the border at some places by November 5. The Italians never got as far as Athens. I think that's where the news was coming from: the Greek command HQ.

Election Day?

Submitted by jwstox on Sat, 01/12/2019 - 11:59am.

Any ideas on the button the gentlemen man on the left is wearing on his trousers? Something to do with voting/election day perhaps?

[It's a hunting permit. The campaign button is on his shirt. - Dave]

Who's in retreat?

Submitted by bdev on Sat, 01/12/2019 - 11:29am.

Maybe our history buffs can tell us who is retreating in Athens in November of 1940. Can't read the first word in the Daily News headline.

[ITALIANS. - Dave]

I found this site comparing past images of Art's with modern views. In the Google Street View it appears to be a pub:
