Description
Colorized photo from 1917
Original title: Kids work in factory
Location: 116 S. Dewey Street, Oklahoma City, OK
It's scenes like these that make you happy that we have the FDA and food inspectors. This picture was originally made to show that kids are working in factories. It had nothing really to do with the deplorable conditions they really worked in.
But look at it, its 1917, bare hands touch everything, food all over the floor, the floor made of dirt, tables are filthy. And to top it off, this is really an old horse stable, there is even a car parked next door.
Can you imagine timing the cone door wrong? Getting that thing on your hand must have been painful, hot metal spikes. And who was the genius that designed this? 7 Cones, a 100 to a box, and look at all the over spill.
