Here's some more random shots from British Columbia. Check out some of the beautiful women working for the telephone company, maybe not move stars, but real everyday women!

 

Well if you have 2 bucks order this:

And a few more.

 

I love pictures like this when they are displaying all the parts and supplies.

 

#67871 skipper... thanks for setting the record straight. Even without the bogus details the photos show the obvious... that had to be a heck of a ride!

 

Traffic was crawling through the Armdale Rotary on Nov. 21, 1961, as RCMP and Halifax police checked outbound vehicles for an escapee from Halifax County Jail.

 

Gosh, if only American women today really knew how easy they have things.....

 

I think they were called 'Mangles' here in Oz? I remember one sitting in the out door laundry on the back porch.

Doc.

 

Interesting to see these wood roads. I have researched the use of wood pavers (like regular 4"x8" bricks) since we had some at the house I grew up in. I always thought they might have been salvaged from an old street here in KC. Sure enough....I did find a pavement map of KC dated in the 1890s and about 1/3rd of the city streets were cedar pavers, 1/3 were clay brick pavers and 1/3 were granite pavers. There were also many, many dirt and gravel roads, but those were the "paved" roads. The granite was not local (we only have limestone here) so most of it came as ballast from boats traveling up the Missouri River.

I also saw a similar map for Minneapolis with similar ratios.

 

I am loving the back window on the car in the center of the photo. Anyone know what kind of car that is?
