Great set... amazing how bad off so many people were. Did you notice the tabloid headline in the fourth-from-last image? "Hitler's Love Life Revealed." Sounds awfully weird today. That came more than a year before we were in the war. Makes me wonder how things were characterized in the press at that time.

I liked this line . . . Cynical New York hotel clerks asked incoming guests, "You want a room for sleeping or jumping?" .

Are business conditions getting better or worse? -- that's always been my question. Stole the line from "Only Yesterday" - Frederick Lewis Allen's fabulous history of The Roaring Twenties -- a section where the great run up in asset prices went hyper in 1928 I think, in large part due to advertisers, public figures, and Wall Street hype men, despite deteriorating conditions. Great book. Probably <10$ on Amazon. Another one I loved from the book and quote here and there from time to time: 2,000 real estate offices; 25,000 realtors -- Miami, 1925. Geo.
