Alan Mays' photos with the keyword: failures

A photo of fields, crops, pastures for the Vintage Photos Theme Park. Handwritten note on the back of the photo: "Here is a picture, and it does not look as if Nebraska was a tee-total failure in 1926. But 50% was a failure on the corn crop for 1926. Mr. H. G. Bolz." Rubberstamped on back: "Van Doran Photo Shop, 1406 O St., Lincoln, Neb." Prohibition was in effect and alcoholic beverages were banned in the U.S. when this photo was taken in 1926, so perhaps teetotalism was on the writer's mind when he said that the corn crop wasn't a "tee-total" failure.

"Heavy failure. The entire stock of dry goods formerly owned by G. V. De Forrest, Cleveland, Ohio, and sold in bankruptcy, is now offered at the Brennan Store, 36 State St., at much below regular prices!" For another example of the typeface used here for "Dry Goods" and "Brennan Store, 36 State St.," see the words "Oil Blacking" on Russian Army Harness Oil Blacking (below).
