Washington, Klickitat County, near Goldendale. Wheat country, abandoned farm in foreground, occupied farm beyond. Heard in local filling station: "Well, heck, the large farmers are buying out the small farmers and taking over the country. The farmers have to do it in dry land farming to build their land up to where it was. The little fellows are off to the four winds."

This image captures a family moment in the 1930s, set against the backdrop of a freight train. The father is engrossed in playing a harmonica, while his wife and two children sit on the ground nearby, listening to him play. A sense of camaraderie and shared joy is evident in their expressions as they enjoy this moment together. The family's attire suggests they are dressed for travel or perhaps a rural setting, given the casual clothing worn by all.

Western Washington, Grays Harbor County, Elma. Note type architecture, very common in western Washington

#Western #Washington #GraysHarborCounty #first #Sundries #second

The image is a black and white photograph of an old, two-story building. On the first floor, there's a store front with large windows, and a sign that reads "Sundries". There are various items displayed in the window, including what appear to be bottles and possibly some hats or other small items. The second story features a row of dormer windows, indicating an attic space above. Above the entrance door on the upper level is another sign with the word "Grocery" written on it.

The architecture suggests this building might be from the early to mid-20th century, possibly serving as a local store for residents of Elma in Grays Harbor County, Washington. The style of the building, including the cladding and the shape of the windows, is indicative of common types found in western Washington.

The image shows a vintage black and white photograph of an old building. It appears to be a historical structure, possibly related to the labor movement of the 1930s given the context provided in the caption. There is no color or modern elements visible in this photo.

The architecture suggests it might have been a multi-story building with steep gables and an intricate facade that includes multiple windows. The ground floor features what looks like a storefront, indicated by a sign that is not clearly legible due to the resolution of the image. In front of the building, there are parked cars and what seems to be a truck from that era.

The sky above is overcast with no strong shadows visible on the ground or structures. The time of day is difficult to determine without more context, but it appears to be during daylight hours due to the visibility of the surroundings.
