I forgot all about the inflation after WWI. I know my grandfather lost his job as a machinist making torpedoes. Not much call for torpedoes after the war.</SPAN> Since the picture was not of a relative I’m thinking that one of my great uncle’s friend’s was trying to show him what he was missing by leaving the Texas oil fields!</SPAN>

Wow! My great uncle and other relatives went to Texas and worked in the oil fields. I heard they did very well. Unfortunately my grandmother missed her brother and insisted that he come back so he gave it all up. They must have been close!

Is this something a farm family would normally have?

Can anyone tell me about the automobile in the attached photograph. It was taken in west virginia. The year would be helpful. I am going through some old photographs. B. S. Romig
