It's a PR photo from Ma and Pa Kettle, released in 1949. See http://www.owwm.com/pubs/338/2717.pdf .
"The title couple and their enormous brood of bumpkins made their movie debut in the film version of Betty McDonald's humorous book The Egg and I (1947) where they appeared as supporting characters. Audiences found them funny and so the characters got their own long-running series of B movies. Ma and Pa Kettle is the first in that series and centers on the exploits of the impoverished hayseed family after Pa wins a contest by writing a jim-dandy slogan for a tobacco company. The Kettle's prize is a brand new, ultra modern, fully automated home. It's a good thing too, for Ma, Pa and their 15 kids were about to get booted out of their previous wreck of a home. Of course the film is at its funniest when the Kettles are trying to figure out how to operate their fancy new digs. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide"
With all good wishes,

My Grandma loved these movies. Living in a small town we had a once a week summer movie night at the town hall where they would show this sort of movies. Grandma always looked forward to any of this series and it was a sure thing that most of the family showed up on those nights, even with it costing 25 cents for us kids and 50 cents for the adults.
I do not recall ever seeing the shopsmith but I guess I must have since I think we went to all of those movies. Might have to see if you can get a DVD of this from the library system... might be interesting to see.
This is right across the page from the shopsmith mixer. Lot of fun looking at this old stuff.
