By 1940 such attractions had begun to fall out of favor, although this one has amassed a crowd. While the sign says, \u201cSiamese twins,\u201d that medical condition is today referred to as \u201cconjoined twins.\u201d Lloyd Ullberg was a classically trained oboist in theater and symphony orchestras when he and his wife took up photography in 1930, seeking a more dependable income during the Depression. Ullberg did commercial assignments but also produced personal work for which he achieved acclaim.",
