Thanks uncle mick for that. I notice in the photo's description it mentions the "cigarette machine". I don't know for sure but I think cigarette machines are something that are not seen anymore. I wonder what "War-Hitler's confession" was? This photo that I took on September 21 2013 can be used as a comparison of the photo in Leodis that is dated June 17 1939.

There's nothing like keeping the past alive - it makes us relieved to reflect that any bad times have gone, and happy to relive all the joyful and fascinating experiences of our own and other folks' earlier days.
