Isn't it interesting to compare the photos taken in the 20's with this one taken in the 50's. We can see a relatively more prosperous society in this one by the clothing they wore.And in today's society the kids have everything designed for them, millions spent on adverts to attract them and parents who want, and buy, only the best for them.
Can't see any fat kids on the photo, they all look really healthy, unlike a lot of the kids today!
