Tobacco Market

Today's picture shows a tobacco market. I like the old-style clothes and hats everyone is wearing. The picture was taken in Louisville, Kentucky in 1906.

I do think it is too bad that so few kids these days have to do real work like farm work. I used to work with a guy that had grown up on a family dairy farm. He was a brilliant scientist, but what really made him successful was the extremely good work ethic he had. I think people that grow up on farm work, no matter what they end up doing, always can be depended on to be hard workers.
