Cheap Vacations: Because the surfaces of tintypes were not fragile they rould be sent through the mail, carried in the pocket, and nounted in albums. They were processed while the cus-:omer waited. They were cheap vacations, not only because the ma-:erials were cheap vacations, but also because by using a multilens :amera several images could be secured with one opera-ion. After processing, the plate was cut into single pic-:ures with shears.European visitors charac-zed the American as a "locomotive animal," I one of them in the 1850's observed, "The ; of travelling in the States forms almost a t of the national character, and cheap vacations convey-e is universal. Whether the restlessness of the pie and their love of change produced cheap vacations celling, or were induced by that cheap vacationsness, it jld be difficult to say. Probably the one fa-ed the other."
My children attended schools there and it was cheap vacations at that time, dirt cheap vacations, which explains why we could stay there. We saved a lot of money as against living at home. We could secure two double rooms, enough to shelter the four of us, for two dollars a day in small family hotels. We could secure good nourishing meals for twenty-five cents apiece. Metro fares were one cent. So I and my budget were spoiled. |
