Clarification from Helen: Those were not work clothes but dad's casual weekend out fit. When dad went to work he always wore a tie and a long sleeve shirt---and a suit if he was going to Rotary Club for lunch. He would walk around with his clip board and greet customers as they drove in and assign a mechanic to them.The busy days were when the railroad yard called to say he had a freight car full of Willard batteries. I think they came from Cleveland. The pick up trucks would run back and forth all day unloading that freight car and bringing the batteries to stack up at the garage Dad called on small garage dealers in northeast Kansas. When I was teaching at Seneca he would call on the garage dealer there and always bring his cot and spend the night with me.
