"And in the mornin', I'm makin' WAFFLES!"

Aren't these vintage waffle makers just darling? They were photographed by Doug White for the November 1940 issue of Electrical Times. Doesn't this make you want to put on some coffee, turn on some jazz, and whip up some batter? 😋

A couple of days ago, I shared a photo of a little girl—the daughter of Pomp Hall—sewing for the 4-H Club. In case you were curious, here are photos of her father and the rest of her family. Pomp Hall was one of Creek County, Oklahoma's most respected farmers. These photos are part of a series taken by Lee Russell in February of 1940.
