Color pictures from the Great Depression

Here are two of storefronts that I especially liked:





There are 68 more pictures on the Denver Post. The photographs encompass everything from people to places to farms to train yards.

Looking at some of the pictures, it's pretty amazing to see how people lived back then. And all the advertising in the picture with the school children? Yeah, I don't think that'd go over too well today.

Thanks bunches for sharing that. I'm utterly delighted.

I believe the advertising you noticed is probably just from the stage sponsors at the Pie Town Fair. Not too different from how fair stages look today, including those which host performances by schoolkids.
