You'll notice the guy seated on the left has a wooden leg and there is not a shoe attached to it. Would only having to buy one shoe make up a little bit for not having a leg? Doubt it and I don't think Nordstrom's was around at the that time so he would have probably had to buy both shoes anyhow and what do you do with the extra shoe? I would be ticked off about 1) not having a leg and 2) still having to buy the shoe.
The man on the right is my great grandfather. He is smoking. While he is sitting next to a dog and to a disabled person. Thank goodness people are more informed these days. At least there were no children there. I might never have been born if my mom had been exposed to second-hand smoke.

Grandpa has a pipe in his mouth on almost EVERY photo I have of him! If and when I encounter anyone smoking cherry tobacco (which rarely happens anymore), I am instantly reminded of him--and in a pleasant way.
I was exposed to PLENTY of second-hand smoke, since my father smoked from the time he was 17 until the mid-1980's at which time he "quit" (except for the times the neighbors tell me about when he sneaked around the corner of the house out of Grandma's sight.)
And yet you lived to tell the tale!
