Depression-era trailers

Found a searchable photo site from Yale University that displays Depression-era photos. I was looking at my county (Hampden, MA) and a couple of photos showed travel trailers being sold at The Big E in West Springfield, MA, a fair well known to anyone in the New England area. Site is photogrammar.yale.edu. (I don't know how to do a link) You can search "trailers" and find them.

Thank you, Donna. I'm too lazy to perform a search, but a link is worth clicking on!

It's amazing to see some of those old trailers and what they used to tow them with. And I'm also taken by the fact that, back in the '30s, men relaxing in campgrounds and migrant camps wore ties!
