Vintage photos from U.S.A., circa 1925


All of these photos are from around 1925-1926. We think it's more likely 1925 due to who our relative was traveling with and the dates of like photos.

Nordahl Nelson, Blue Earth, Minnesota

This photo was labeled:

"Here is another man who proves to be a champion corn husker Nordahl Nelson of Blue-Earth husked 3284 bushels of corn in 33 days, making an average of 99 bushels per day. This is a load of 54 bushels."

We estimate the photo to be around 1922 or so based on the photos it was next to.

Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, Post #2

We decided to add another page for the parade/celebration photos- or whatever kind of school festivities are happening in these photos. Most of the photos appear to be from 1922 based on one of the float photos (more to come)- see other post for possible years. If you see someone you know, please let us know.
