Hey it's Alto!
Men outside the Dickey and Patton blacksmith shop in Alto, Texas, circa 1910. Hard work! There's not an ounce of fat on any of these men. Alto is a small town in Cherokee County. It's about 25 miles west of Nacogdoches. Also, it strikes me that suspenders are a mighty underappreciated part of a man's wardrobe. 😀
