Girls' potato race, 1927

 File — Box: 66, Folder: 1521

Scope and Contents

Negative no.A1521. August 1927. Image shows three or four girls engaged in a potato race. Some potatoes can be seen on the ground; the idea is probably to be the first to get all your potatoes into one of the boxes on the right. Spectators in background; some men standing on right are probably officials of some sort. Most likely part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. 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. See also Negative 1520, Negative 1522, and Negative 1523, in this box. 5 x 7 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 7, Folder 1, Item 1521 for print of this negative.
