Throwin’ it back to the days when sweeping the sidewalk was part of your morning routine and a trip to the florist and the barber could happen in one stroll! You could smell the fresh flowers from City Florist before you even stepped inside, and just next door, the Barber Shop wasn’t just for haircuts, it was the unofficial headquarters for town gossip! 💈Photo credit University of North Texas Libraries, The Portal to Texas History taken 1974.

💨 Hauling Cotton on These Windy Texas Days 💨Before the days of tightly packed cotton bales, Texas farmers hauled their harvest in open wagons, leaving their precious crop at the mercy of the wind. Strong gusts could send tufts of cotton swirling into the air, creating what some called "white snowstorms" on dusty country roads. Teamsters knew the struggle well, often covering their loads with tarps or packing them down as best they could. But no matter how careful they were, the wind always seemed to claim its share!Check out these vintage photos of horse-drawn wagons loaded with unbaled cotton, a glimpse into the challenges and hard work of early Texas farmers. 📸 The Portal To Texas History
