See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

1. WARRM_110717_032.JPG: The Harvey Girl Legend: Fred Harvey's verbal agreement with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad in 1876 let him develop something that was lacking -- a line of deluxe restaurants along the railroad's lines throughout the Southwest. One of his secrets to success were the Harvey Girls. These young women, often immigrants, had to be of good character, attractive and intelligent, 18 to 30 to be hired as waitresses. They were not to wear jewelry or rouge and had to maintain spotless uniforms -- white for breakfast and lunch, and black and white for dinner (as shown here). They were trained to high standards and always courteous. They were expected to remember orders and did not write them down. All food was carried on a tray, even a single glass of water. Waitresses signaled their customers' beverage choices to busboys by the position of the guests' cups and saucers. In the chain's 70-year history, an estimated 100,000 young women wore the uniform. More than 5,000 Harvey Girls married and settled in the West.

Bigger photos? To save server space, the full-sized versions of these images have either not been loaded to the server or have been removed from the server. (Only some pages are loaded with full-sized images and those usually get removed after three months.) I still have them though. If you want me to email them to you, please send an email to guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can email them to you, or, depending on the number of images, just repost the page again will the full-sized images.
Connection Not Secure messages? Those warnings you get from your browser about this site not having secure connections worry some people. This means this site does not have SSL installed (the link is http:, not https:). That's bad if you're entering credit card numbers, passwords, or other personal information. But this site doesn't collect any personal information so SSL is not necessary. Life's good!
