Item 937: Scrap iron pile, Draper Company, June 16, 1911, 1911

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B937. June 16, 1911. Image depicts a view of the scrap iron pile outside one of the Draper Company buildings (which are off to the right in this image). One man (who can also be seen in Item 934, in this folder) stands in front of the pile, which gives the viewer a sense of the size of the pile (at least three stories high). A group of male laborers stands on the left. A set of railroad tracks appears to run across the area, with another pile of scrap iron in the left foreground. See Item 934 and Item 935, in this folder, for other images of the pile taken on this date. See also Box 15, Folder 2, Item 883, which shows the pile two months earlier. See Item 896 through Box 15, Folder 2, Item 898 for views of this pile taken a month earlier. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, which explains the extent of the scrap iron pile. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.
