I have noted how many of these early occupational photographs show people with the products of their hard work. In this case there was obviously a lot of it - hard work I mean.<br /><br />I wonder why the writing on the side of the building behind the barrel bottoms says, "Pennsyl..."? Perhaps that's where the barrels were bound.<br /><br />My gg-aunt's brother William Parker lived and worked as a potter in Kokomo for a few years around 1910-1912. He moved to Evansville around 1914, but I have no idea what happened to him after that.<br /><br />Regards and best wishes, BrettBrett Paynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706734864792449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961288490571938787.post-69645475098759095082009-07-18T18:37:06.444-07:002009-07-18T18:37:06.444-07:00Wow!
