Back-to-Back contest, 1921

Negative no.A982. August 13, 1921. Image depicts four men participating in a back-to-back contest, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. Two teams of two men, each back-to-back, engage in some sort of race (one member of each team is walking backward). Note the man on the left in the clown costume. Spectators watch in the background. 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.
