Here is a wonderful photo postcard of three well dressed young boys. Two boys are standing and a baby is seated in a wicker stroller. Mom has set out potted ferns on stands with lace curtain windows make for a wonderful picture of turn-of-the century America. The snap shot is undated, but we would guess was taken about 1905-10. The two older boys look to be about 4-5 years old. There are two brothers, perhaps photographed with a neighbir child. Written on the back in ink is: "Ray & Vernon Kathman, Gilbert Speckman, Aurora, Indiana". Thus we know their names and where they lived. Both boys wear tunic suits. Ray wears a colored suit with a ruffled collar. I'm not sur about the color, perhaps pale blue. Gilbert wears a white suit. Both boys wear white caps, but it is a bit difficult to make out the types. Ray wears black stockingss. Gilbert wears white stockings with strap shoes. I'm not sure about the color of the shoes.
