It seems incredible that manual workers wore white shirts with tie. I suppose in the days before wives worked they filled the time scrubbing shirts. and washing ties. I used to think they dressed for the photo or emptied out the office staff, but have seen so many such photos seems they really did dress that way. I have seen photos of garage staff here taken in the 1960s before uniforms and the safety fetish became common.The degree of casual scruffiness and dirtiness is intriguing.
