Working Cowboy
Last week was Apache Indian Week, so what better thing that to follow it up with Cowboy Week. Today's picture was taken in 1934, and anyone who ever saw a real working cowboy can tell you what he is doing. Want to hazard a guess?
Most likely. I know the Army and the Red Cross used to hand them out at canteens. My German grandfather never smoked, so he sold them to his friend for 5 cents each. Had a down-payment for his house when he got out after Armistice Day.
Probably wishing he had a ready-made instead of that bull durham.
ReplyDeleteDid they even make ready mades in 1934? My dad used to have us kids roll them for him....
