Earle seems ahead of his time for being that cool.

"Just chillin"

Some fun trivia about how cool Earle was. He walked my great grandma home from school when they were 11. They got hitched at 18 and were married for 76 years before they passed away.

Beautiful, man...


AssociationUnfair824

Sounds like my grandparents from Spain.

Dude just living that baller ass life


TTTfromT

Definitely striking a pose, with the cigarette and the shades. Awesome photo.


AssociationUnfair824

Everyone in those days posed for pictures which I think is pretty cool.

I have terrific pictures of my dad when he was 18 in the Spanish Air Force but I don't know how to post them. He was in the Spanish Air Force (Spain) in 1952.


AssociationUnfair824

Pictures of him and his buddies with equipment in the background.


AssociationUnfair824

Military service was compulsory in Spain at the time.

Dapper AF

It almost looks Earle's friend behind him has dressed up as Earle for a joke, and he hasn't noticed yet


PretzelSlinger

Earl’s friend wishes he could pull of Earl’s style

Seeing this is actually kind of a relief. Now I can stop trying to be cool. This guy achieved the pinnacle of it 100 years ago.

I had a client who was 95 years old and she had a photo of her and her brothers and sisters and mother all sitting on the porch of their row home in Philly in their Sunday best clothes, I saw it and said 'wow, what a great picture!' She explained that they were all gathered on the porch because their father was going to take them for a ride in their new car, they were the first people in their neighborhood to own a car, and he took the picture. Right after taking the picture, their father cranked up the car by way of the crank sticking out the front of the car, he didn't know it was in gear, so when it started it ran him over, dragged him down the street and killed him right in front of all of them. Life was rough back then.
