These street photos seemed to have been popular in the mid-40’s. I wonder how the photographers made money.

This is a blowup of mom from the photo on the right. San attractive 30-something with a fetching smile.

Between her graduation from high school and when she left Beaumont to follow daddy in the Air Corps I am pretty sure she worked various jobs in Beaumont. One place that I think she and Helen worked was Kress and Company a 5 and dime store. We always called it Kressees - go figure. A 5 and dime story is just about like a Dollar General today only the prices in each reflect are reflected in the names.
