These three young men are (left to right) my father, Angelo and Vinny. Do not know what the occasion was, but as I said in the "Three Sisters" posting...It had to be a special occasion. Even their clothing looks new. My father looks about 13, Uncle Angelo about 10 and Uncle Vinny about 5 or 6.....I wish I knew the years they were born...it would help dating a lot of pictures I still have to post. If anyone knows any of the years please let me know. My father was 1915, that is the only one I am sure of. When you look at all the pictures with the kids, they were all very good looking.
Looking at my father he had a smile on his face even then, and he never lost it. He is the only one of the sisters and brothers with a smile, guess he knew something they didn't.....(grin)....

I agree with Ron's comment elsewhere - for all the talk of poverty, everyone in these old pictures is dressed very well. Of course, there is a picture out there somewhere of Aunt Hilda in a Pillsbury flour sack dress, but that was the start of a trend, wearing clothes with corporate logo's on them:-)
Aunt Hilda in a Pillsbury Flour sack dress? That would bring in some "DOUGH" today ;-)
You are right about the clothes with the Corporate Logo, never thought about it that way.
