Start of the 220-yard dash, 1920

Negative no.A949. August 1920. Image depicts male runners at the start of the 220-yard dash, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Eight men burst forth from the starting line in the foreground. An official of some sort stands behind them in the white shirt with a ribbon on his shirt; the man in the striped shirt on the right is also probably an official. Spectators, mostly men, line the side of the course. 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.
