Scope and content
Louis Weir gets pampered like a king on Father's Day by his entire family at their Midland home in this photograph from 1953. The older boys are busy painting the house and mowing the lawn while the younger children give Dad's shoes a sparkling shine and offer a cigar. A nice cup of tea and snack are gracefully offered as well. Mr. Weir had just relocated his appliance and heating store to the 84th and Portland Avenue area the month before. He appears to be enjoying all the extra attention from his four boys and four girls as he relaxes outdoors. Sepia photograph ordered by the News Tribune for a Father's Day layout. (TNT 6-21-53, D-5)
