Item 923: Spoon and potato race, 1919

 File — Box: 5, Folder: 5

Scope and Contents

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A923. August 9, 1919. Image depicts several women participating in a spoon and potato race, most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. The general idea is presumably to be the first to get your potato to the boxes on the far left and whichever box is filled first wins the race. A crowd of spectators watches in the background. This does not appear to be the same race as the girls' potato race, shown in Item 919 and Item 920, in this folder. See also Item 918, in this folder. 25 x 20.25 cm.
