Dang....funny you should mention that. I was almost going to edit the post and make note of it. The other thing to me that was striking is the hats. Hats, hats, and more hats. Almost nobody without one.

Almost nobody without one. And ties. And the women are all dressed up as well. Those outfits must have been hot as hell in the summer.

Wonderful film footage. Notice the low height of the NYC skyline! And not too crowded by today's Big Apple standards...
Along with the great hats and fashionable clothes, I was struck by the juxtaposition of the horse-drawn wagons, automobiles, and trolleys in the streets.
(We used to have trolleys here in Denver back in the day.)
My family's business in Denver history was the N--- Carriage Company. They built carriages and wagons in Denver, beginning around 1880, then gradually switched over to building specialized, commercial truck bodies.
My grandfather lived and worked in that business from about 1907-70-- so he lived through that "horseless" carriage revolution. (He would have been 19 the year this film was made.)
Thanks for posting.

The other thing...play it again and note the percentage of walkers vs those in vehicles. I would guess 10-1. Perhaps why so few fat people.

THAT would be an interesting bit of historical research-- looking at average human weight in relation to modes of transportation. Has the use of the automobile contributed to obesity? (I once read an old study done in India that correlated people's weights with their daily activity levels.)
