Well into the 1950's and 60's it was not uncommon to see a local factory grunt, whose job was maybe to put a bolt in a muffler bracket on the Assy. line all day, leave for work in the morning and come home at nite wearing a suit or at least some "business causual" attire to coin a modern day phrase.

I workeed for Buick dealer in the very early 1970's and 2 of the old timers in there probably close to 70 yo wore nice cloths to work.

They changed into thier work cloths in a little locker room. Usualy wore coveralls while most anyone under 40 yo wore the shirt and pants uniform.

It was a different time and space. Remeber, that the 1920's automobiles is what REPLACED THE HORSE!!!!! People were most proud to have a job of anykind especialy comming out the 1930's.

As for the man with the cigarette, well lets face it, a man has to smoke SOMETHING!!!! BWA ha haa ha ha ha .
