Most men's wardrobes of that era included at least one good suit. Usually acquired at a local tailor shop and most often with two pairs of trousers. In this case (my guess) the visiting couple had probably attended church service in the morning and then "gone visiting". It was very common to have folks just "pop in" on Sunday afternoon with no advance warning. We were always ready with cake and coffee or something like that. Between 1909 and 1927 Henry Ford had built and sold nearly 15 MILLION Fords. Cars were becoming commonplace. My grandfather bought his first Model T (brand new) in 1914 with the proceeds of a Morgan horse that he had sold. The house in that picture was typical of it's day and a lot of them are still around but many of the ones remaining don't look as good as the one in that picture even though they are still occupied. Seldom see men wearing suits either. "Casual clothes" nowadays. Makes sense. There were either work clothes or dress clothes in that era. We used to go to Sunday afternoon lawn parties where the men would engage in a good softball game in a pasture wearing their suit pants (cuffs rolled up) and a dress shirt, tie removed and sleeves rolled up. We would go into town every year and get measured up for a new suit in time to show it off on Easter Sunday. Makes for great memories but I wouldn't want to do it all over again. Getting old, I guess. (;>))

Today's Featured Article - Product Review: JB Weld - by Staff. JB Weld is basically an epoxy glue that does an exceptionally good job of bonding to cast iron and steel along with several other materials. As I mentioned, it is so common that I have yet to buy a tractor that did not have JB Weld used somewhere. It is sometimes used so well you can't tell its there and other times used as a sloppy quick fix. Finding where and how it can be used correctly is key to whether you are using it as an "inelegant hack" or an integral solution to difficult and expens
