Mother and I went to town. She got shoes and some other things, and I got a pair of hose and some make-up stuff.

The gradual emancipation of women through the 1920s brought with it an independence of action, and there is no bolder way to express your femininity than with make-up. Without a doubt, the art of women’s make-up took off in strides during the 1930′s with the help of Hollywood glamour and the new rage of full color fashion magazines. Max Factor and Elisabeth Arden were becoming household names.The 1930s woman’s makeup look was much more refined than in the 1920s.

Had an auction down at the store today. They sold an old truck for 197 and 1/2 dollars. Sold some other goods, too.

1920 Ford Depot Hack

A 1920 Depot Hack is fitted with the demountable rims that became available on a broader
range of vehicles that year. The rims allowed for easier flat repair, as the outer rim -- which
held the tire -- could be separated from the wheel hub, which remained on the vehicle.

Blogger's Note: I have no clue as to what kind of truck was sold; Mom didn't say. But
I've driven Fords since ... well, since forever, so I just picked out a Ford and used it.
