Fascinating. Thanks for sharing! I wonder what this photo was taken for.

At a time and place when cameras weren't readily available, or perhaps never seen before, this company toured certain areas and took pictures. Sometimes they were pictures of factory and mill workers. There is actually a website with their pictures on it. Maybe this picture is on it? I haven't had time to look thoroughly yet.

Edit: I looked through all the pictures on the above site, and the negative did not seem to be in the collection.

Here is another picture from the box. No idea who this is.

Again, no idea who these people are. People, please write names and dates on the back of your photos!

New York circa 1915, Police tuba players
(The sousaphone on the far left most likely being the type coveted by Penrod in Penrod and Sam )

Very interesting! Imagine having your great grandpa in a puzzle!
