1956 Looks Different Today
Did people look different back then?
PG has been cruising the picture collection at the GSU library. Most of the images are black and white, which might be part of the difference. Styles of dressing change, and there is less print media ( with posed pictures) today. Maybe people are still the same, but the pictures have changed.
Many of the ladies in today’s collection were in an organization called WOMPI- Women of Motion Picture Industry. They were working women, not stay at home cookie bakers.
When PG worked at Davisons in 1980, the employee entrance was on Ellis Street, the side shown in picture 08. In 1980, you could see the nail holes in the bricks where the words “Davison Paxon” had been attached.
