The Tacoma Manufacturer's Household and Auto Expo, January 18-23, 1915

 

that's my grandmother pregnant with my mother when she was 17, the second pic is of my grandfather, the caption above it said "our first car", the third is my uncle Frank second from the right in front of the PBY, he flew a P38...

 

PBY or a Grumman Albotross????

Albotrosses didn't come out until the 50's...

 

Because of hairstyles etc. I'm guessing those girls are drinking liquor from those unlabeled bottles during the prohibition.

 

I've never seen a picture of Marilyn where she didn't look stunningly beautiful and still have that down home appeal at the same time...You know, like your wife when she gets all dressed up.

 

I've looked at this photo long and hard and I am pretty sure that is a Japanese Kawanishi "Emily" flying boat. That means these guys were probably part of the early occupying forces in Japan.

Now that would have made a great piece of advertising for Coca-Cola!
