Item 1520: Girls' potato race, 1927

 File — Box: 7, Folder: 1

Scope and Contents

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A1520. August 1927. Image depicts a group of about eight girls engaged in a potato race. There are some potatoes visible on the ground; the idea is probably to get all your potatoes into your box (a row of boxes is seen on the ground on the right). Spectators watch in the background; some men standing on right may be officials of some sort. Most likely as part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees. See also Item 1521, Item 1522, and Item 1523, in this folder. 25 x 20.25 cm.
