1971-72

Kids these days don’t know how easy they have it. In my day, we slept on beds of nails.

1930

The “men” must all be elsewhere.

1944

This is presumably a war effort. Shining shoes just to sell stamps otherwise seems like an awful lot of effort.

Arguably retro pricing

OK, so far, it’s just T-shirts (only $7!). But there’s more coming soon. You’ll want to watch that space.

1977

OK, the striped socks are funny and eye-catching.

We tried and tried to come up with a simple explanation, but decided we could do no better than this piece of excellence from Common Craft:

Click the “Play” triangle for an introduction to RSS. Not quite simple enough? That’s OK, at least now you know what your questions are. Ask away in the comments.

1955-56

A few years’ yearbook staffs (mostly from the mid-1950s to the mid-1960s) took the snarky comments right out of our mouths. We’ve got a little stash saved up for rainy days like this one.
