Preliminary of the 100-yard dash, 1921

Negative no.A967. August 13, 1921. Image depicts four male runners finishing a preliminary heat of the 100-yard dash, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Two have crossed the finish line; the third raises his arms in triumph (perhaps the top three finishers would move into the final); and the fourth is behind him. The group of men in straw hats on the right are probably officials of some sort. A large crowd of spectators watches from the side of the course on the left. 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 6, Folder 1, Item 967 for print of this negative.
