Shop Dept.: Wet Hose competition, 1919

Negative no.A912. August 9, 1919. Image depicts two men, presumably employees of the Draper Corporation shop dept., handling a wet hose as part of some sort of competition, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Spectators (mostly young boys) look on behind. See also Negative 901, in this box, but the men seem to have a better grip on the hose in this image. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer, were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and company events, in addition to employment. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 5, Folder 5, Item 912 for print of this negative.
