During the years of the last great depression, people turned to many sources 
to provide for their families.  While digitizing some family photos from my 
wife's late grandmother's shoebox of prints, I came across this photo 
showing my wife's late father with the portable direct-positive photo booth 
that they transported to fairs and celebrations all across the Mid-West, 
providing affordable photos to the public, and a source of income for the 
family.
