The history of their birth and life received wide publicity.
On May 28, 1934, five sisters born in a poor farmer family became a gold mine and made a huge contribution to the Canadian government.
The history of their birth and life received wide publicity and always attracted the attention of the media.
But neither money nor glory made them happy.
Twins Dion went down in history as the most famous twins, but also the most identical.
The father of the family was the poor farmer Oliva Dion, who with his wife and three older children lived on the farm completely without amenities: without electricity and water supply.
The farmer’s wife suspected that she was pregnant with twins.
But when they had five children at once, this was a big surprise for her.
Dr. Alan Roy Dafoe was convinced that not all babies would survive.
Immediately after giving birth, the doctor thought that my mother would not survive either.
But two hours later she came to her senses.
Immediately after the birth of premature children, they wrapped in warm blankets and put in a basket near the heat stove.
Since the mother could not breastfeed, children every two hours gave a mixture of water, corn syrup, milk and a few drops of rum.
When the sisters were six months, their father decided to put his daughters at the World Exhibition in Chicago.
The Canadian government decided to take advantage of this and organize an unusual exhibition.
For girls, a special pavilion with ten large windows and gallery was built to observe them.
Companies producing children’s goods, such as baby food, clothing and powder, successfully used their images for advertising purposes.
