I see just one can of that popular dirty-hands cleaner.
Fit looking men who were deferred from the draft?
I immediately found this photo interesting because these hard-working men look so different from men today. No man has a ‘diabetic’ belly, no one is out of shape, no one is fat. They have muscles without working out at an expensive gym. They have a '6-pak' from hard work.
This photo, taken during WWII, show Railroad men who likely received deferment from the draft due to their important work in building and repairing trains for troop transport and war machine transport; or they received a deferment due to the size of their family. A few men appear to be overage for the draft as well.

Before and after
What a contrast between the grimy guys just about to start cleaning and the guys who have just or are about to be finished cleaning. And what a contrast between the acceptable space norms of yesteryear and what people would demand today for personal space. And, as usual, what an absence of fatties compared with today.
