I was reading about things people from the Great Depression did on FB.
It made me think about another thing we did growing up and I still do.
Dad always wore JCPenney work suits until they went away from them.Khaki shirt and pants when I was little then later a green suit.He always kept one fairly new set in readiness for when he went into town to the stockyard,co op,or machinery dealers. Usually wore a newer pair of boots,too.They weren't mirror shined but weren't dirty and scuffed,either.
I find myself doing the same today although different type of clothes.Usually jeans and a plaid shirt with newer boots.
I wonder how many still do.I know a lot of folks are farming widely separated locations and there are some who are too busy to go home before heading to town.
But, for those who are working close to home,what do you do?
