Item 916: Town Dept.: Wet Hose competition, 1919

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A916. August 9, 1919. Image depicts two men 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. The man in the straw hat, kneeling off to the right, is an official of some kind (he is also seen in Item 901). Spectators (mostly young boys) look on behind. It is unclear if "town dept." refers to a dept. of some sort in the Draper Corporation, or whether these were town employees competing against Draper employees--see Item 901, in this folder, for the "Shop Dept." participating in the same competition. 25 x 20.25 cm.
