Toronto. When I see this photo, I think of the song from “The Music Man“, a 1957 broadway musical, made into a movie five years later.
Photo collectors have a wide variety of photos in their collection, often a rich source of history especially if thoroughly researched. The photo at left shows typical farm life in rural southern Ontario c1950.
The farmer’s wife raised chickens for ‘pin money’. And here next to the chicken coop (in the larger photo) is the outdoor plumbing, still common place 75 years ago in rural areas.
Collectors, be sure to visit our 2025 events to discover things (photos, hardware, accessories, books and more) to complement your holdings. Dates and times when confirmed will be posted at the right under EVENTS. As the date of an event approaches, a post will be pinned to this site.
