The Lunch Crowd: 1941
July 1941. "Stockyard workers during lunch hour. Chicago, Illinois." Medium format acetate negative by John Vachon for the Farm Security Administration. View full size.
Young Mr. White Shirt is handsome!
Less scuffed shoes, no pants patches and drinking milk = I spot a newbie. Poor man on the far left embarrassingly has unzipped or torn pants.

“Nowhere in the world will such a brotherly feeling of confidence be experienced as amongst those who sit together smoking their pipes.”
– The Results and Merits of Tobacco, 1844, Doctor Barnstein
