Collection material in English
The Draper Corporation was once the largest maker of power looms for the textile industry in the United States. It operated
in Hopedale, Massachusetts for more than 130 years.
This collection consists mostly of prints from the glass plate negatives in collection 6612 GPN: Draper Corporation Glass
Plate Negatives. Collection 6612 GPN consists of two series: Series A, 5 inch by 7 inch glass plate negatives, approximately
1,500;
and Series B, 8 inch by 10 inch glass plate negatives, approximately 2,000.
Many of the photographs in Series A depict company outings, or "Field Days." These events were most likely organized by the
Draper Company and may have consisted entirely of Draper Company employees. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George
and
Ebenezer Draper were responsible for creating an integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational
spaces, in addition to employment.
Series B consists largely of machinery built by the Draper Company. Also included are photographs of the company plant, employee
housing, recreational facilities, and the surrounding area.
All negatives in collection 6612 GPN have been printed and included in this collection. Of the roughly 3,500 negatives 513
have been described at the individual level. Those descriptions are available in the container lists for both this collection
and
collection 6612 GPN.
In addition to the photographs from 6612 GPN, other photographs of Draper Corporation machinery, buildings, employees, and
executives are included in this collection.
The container list for this collection is not complete. Only those photographs that had descriptions from the American Textile
History Museum are included as "Items." The photograph number has been used as the "item number" in order to allow for
descriptions for the currently undescribed photographs to be added with any re-numbering.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A22. 1894-1900. Image depicts a close-up view of the battery on a Draper Company
Model E loom with a duplex (?) harness. A battery is a mechanism found on single box automatic looms. The battery holds a
plentiful supply of filling bobbins and transfers them, one at a time, to the shuttle as the need arises. The Draper
Company, located in Hopedale, Massachusetts, manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. See Item 27, in this folder,
for a view of
the entire loom. 25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A49. 1894-1900. Image depicts a view of a D-model dobby loom, photographed against
a sheet, probably in an unknown mill. The battery is on the right with a long box for the bobbins. A dobby loom is a loom
equipped with a dobby and capable of weaving small figures. The dobby is a mechanism attached to a loom for controlling
the operation of the harnesses. Dobbies are made so that they can operate up to 25 harnesses and by this means figured cloths
can be
woven. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. 25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A50. 1894-1900. Image depicts a view of a C-model loom with a duplex harness,
photographed against a sheet, probably in an unknown mill. The battery is on the right-hand side, although there appears to
be
no box for the bobbins. The harness is the frame containing the heddles through which the warp threads are drawn prior
to weaving. By lifting or lowering the harnesses in the loom the shed is formed. The shed is the opening formed when some
warp threads
are raised by their harnesses while others are left down. Forming the shed is the first action in weaving, and it is
through the shed that the shuttle passes in inserting the filling. This loom contains two harnesses. The C model loom was
Draper's first
heavy pattern loom and was obsolete by 1900. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. 25
x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A54. 1894-1900. Image depicts a view of a D model loom with a worm gear take-up
motion, photographed against a sheet, probably in an unknown mill. The take-up motion is a mechanism on a loom for taking
up
the cloth as it is woven. The speed with which it performs this action determines the number of picks per inch. A worm
gear take-up motion is continuous, as opposed to the intermittent motion. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery,
primarily
looms. 25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A55. Image depicts a close-up view of an F-model loom seen from one end, showing
the picker stick. (The picker stick, by delivering a sharp blow to the shuttle, causes the shuttle to be thrown from one
shuttle box, across the race plate, into the opposite shuttle box.) The F model loom was designed for an extra heavy
pattern for goods 72 inches and wider. A notation on the back of the print reads: "F Model Loom Feb 1900." See Item 48, in

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A1000. 1891-1895. Image depicts the male employees of the Temple Shop at the
Draper Company in Hopedale, Massachusetts A dozen men, some in work clothes, and two in suits, stand in the Temple Shop, among
equipment including lathes. A temple is a device on a loom located near the fell of the cloth, one on each side; temples
hold the cloth out as wide as possible during the process of weaving and prevent it from being drawn in too much by the filling.
See
Item 994, in this folder, for a view of the Temple Shop without employees and taken from the opposite angle as this
one. The Temple Shop was built in 1868 for W. W. Dutcher, a three-story brick factory on Social Street. The Draper Company
manufactured
textile machinery, primarily looms. 25 x 20.25 cm.

unpaved street. The house in the center left has at least three chimneys and two entrances; it is most likely a duplex. It
features Tudor-style timbering in the gables. The next house to the right has one front porch but may have two entrances;
however, only one chimney is visible. The next house on the right has two entrances, one of each side of the front of the
house,
and, again, has at least three chimneys. The last house on the right has two entrances and two chimneys. These four
homes consist of two different styles, but within each style there are a few differences. A few other houses are partially
visible in the
background. All were most likely constructed by the Draper Company for company employees. 25 x 20.25 cm.

as wide as possible during the process of weaving and prevent it from being drawn in too much by the filling. See Box 1, Folder
5, Item
1000 for a view of the Temple Shop with a dozen employees and taken from the opposite angle as this one. The Temple
Shop was built in 1868 for W. W. Dutcher. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. See Box 1, Folder

Draper Company. The twister is photographed against a sheet, probably in an unknown mill, and is seen from the side rather
than
head-on. "Draper Company" is embossed on the piece on the floor, leaning against the machine. A twister is a machine
for twisting together two or more separate ends, making either a ply yarn or a cable yarn, or for inserting additional twist
in a single
end. It is made with either a pin creel or beam creel; in this case, a pin creel, which can be seen on the top of the
twister. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. 20.25 x 25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A169. 1901-1916. Image depicts two houses on Bancroft Parkway. The house on the
left is a substantial two-and-a-half story wood-shingled house; it has two separate entrances, although only one can be seen
here. The house on the right, which is somewhat hidden by trees, is a wood-shingled duplex with two porches (see Item
155, in this folder, for a better view of this house). Both houses have shutters at all the windows (some of them are closed).
The
unpaved road curves around and there is a horse and wagon stopped in front of the house on the right. These two houses
can also be seen in the background of Item 177, in this folder. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 25 x

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A171. 1901- 1916. Image depicts a view of several houses on Bancroft Parkway
in Hopedale, Massachusetts The house in the center is in the Dutch Colonial style and has two separate entrances in the front;
it
is most likely a duplex (see Item 153, in this folder, for a closer view of this house). The other houses are in different
styles, but all are substantial two-story wooden clapboard dwellings. These houses were built for Draper Company employees.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A172. 1901- 1916. Image depicts a view of a house on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale,
Massachusetts The house is probably a duplex, as Hopedale housing built for Draper Company employees was not generally
larger than a duplex. It has a porch on either side and is a substantial two-story wooden clapboard dwelling. Another
house can be seen to the right, partially blocked by trees and bushes in the foreground. The street curves around to the right.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A173. 1901-1916. Image depicts a view of two houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale,
Massachusetts The house on the left is a substantial two-and-a-half-story wood-shingled residence, with two entrances on
the front porch. A walkway leads to a set of steps at the rear of the house as well. All the windows have shutters.
This house is probably the one that appears in Item 176, in this folder. The house on the right is not quite as large and
in a different
style, but is also most likely a duplex, as Hopedale housing built for Draper Company employees was not generally larger
than a duplex. This house is also two-and-a-half stories and is wood-shingled; it does not, however, have shutters which is
unusual
for Draper Company housing (possibly the house is not quite finished). The two houses appear to be bisected by another
road on which there are more houses as glimpses of two other houses can be seen behind the house on the left. The road is
wide and
unpaved; one electric pole stands at the side of the road. See Box 2, Folder 3, Item 182 for another view of these
houses. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A176. 1901-1916. Image depicts a view of a house on the corner of Bancroft Parkway
in Hopedale, Massachusetts The house is a substantial two-and-a-half-story wood-shingled residence, with two entrances on
the front porch. All the windows have shutters; there is a bay window on the side. Although the house appears complete,
some lumber is leaning up against the house in the front. Down the street to the right can be seen more substantial wood-shingled
houses, all duplexes. See Item 173, in this folder, for a view of this house from the opposite angle, which does not
show the houses down the street. The road is wide and unpaved; it appears quite rutted, which suggests that the neighborhood
was not yet
quite finished. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 25 x 20.25 cm.

The house on the far right is a basic Colonial; the house next to it has two substantial gables with Tudor-style timbering
as decoration. The two houses in the background can be seen in close-up in Item 169, in this folder. A horse and wagon can
be seen

Both are substantial wood-shingled houses and both are most likely two-family residences. The house on the left is in
the Dutch Colonial or gambrel style, while the house on the right has two front gables. Both houses have shutters at
all the windows, some of which are closed. The unpaved road in the foreground curves to both the left and the right of the
houses, with
an area of large bushes planted between what may be driveways for each house. Electric poles line the road. These houses

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A182. 1901-1916. Image depicts a view of two houses on Bancroft Parkway in Hopedale,
Massachusetts The house in the center is a substantial two-and-a-half-story wood-shingled residence, with two entrances
on the front porch and a bay window on the side. A walkway leads to a set of steps at the rear of the house as well.
All the windows have shutters. This house is probably the one that appears in Box 2, Folder 2, Item 176. The house in the
right
background is not quite as large and in a different style, but is also most likely a duplex, as Hopedale housing built
for Draper Company employees was not generally larger than a duplex. This house is also two-and-a-half stories and is wood-shingled;
it does not, however, have shutters which is unusual for Draper Company housing (possibly the house is not quite finished).
The house on the left features two gables and has three chimneys. This house is most likely on a dirt road that can barely
be
discerned; see Box 2, Folder 2, Item 173 for a closer view of two of these houses. The road is wide and unpaved; one
electric pole stands at the side of the road. These houses were built for Draper Company employees. 25 x 20.25 cm.

the houses have two chimneys and are most likely duplexes, as Hopedale housing for Draper employees was generally not
larger than a duplex. The unpaved road is quite narrow and each house has a free-standing clothesline in the yard (several
have laundry
hanging from them}. Note the trash cans at the end of each walk leading from the houses. These houses were built for

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A186. 1903- 1906. Image depicts a four-story wooden boarding house. The building
has three chimneys visible from this angle and a lightning rod. Shutters have been installed at some of the windows, but the
far left side appears to be still under construction. No windows or shutters have been installed on that side, and
there are two ladders leaning against the porch roof. (Notes in the accession folder indicate the boardinghouse was "doubled"
which may
account for the unfinished aspects of it.) A front porch runs the length of the building. The sign "Hopedale House,"
which can be seen in Box 3, Folder 2, Item 343 and Item 344 has not yet been installed, all of which suggests a date closer
to 1903 than
1905, the date for both Box 3, Folder 2, Item 343 and Item 344. A fire escape is visible on the right-hand end of the
building. Note the laundry hanging on lines in the back yard on the right. A few bare trees are visible, possibly just planted.
Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer Draper were responsible for creating the integrated, planned
community of Hopedale with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces, in addition to employment. See also Box 3,

a two-story wooden clapboard building with two brick chimneys and shutters on some of the windows. A one-story
extension of the house is at the back (or the back portion of the house was constructed as one story). There is a picket
fence running parallel to the sidewalk from one side of the house. Ballou (1803-1890) was a prominent proponent of pacifism,
socialism and abolitionism, and the founder (in 1842) of the Hopedale Community, a utopian community blending a factory
town with a religious-based commune. See Item 199, in this folder, for a view of the house taken from the opposite angle.
The house
was located at the corner of Peace and Hopedale streets until it was moved to Dutcher Street in 1900; see Box 12, Folder

Hopedale by William F. Draper [date illegible]" at the base. Upton, Massachusetts, is a town located northwest of Hopedale.
Dutcher Street is probably the larger, unpaved street on the right, on which several houses and electric poles are located.
A low
stone wall marks the street corner behind the marker. William Draper was associated with the Draper Company, the founders
of which created the integrated, planned community of Hopedale with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces, in

fences off to the right. Two houses can be seen in the left background. A four-story house (possibly a boardinghouse?)
can be seen in the right foreground with wood trim decorative elements, shutters at every window, and an open front porch.
Several
wooden poles are on the edges of the street, but they have not yet been connected as either electric or telegraph poles
(the pole closest to the boardinghouse is an electric pole, connected to the boardinghouse). It is possible this image was

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.A316. November 22, 1904. Image depicts a marble fountain feature on the south
side of the library that includes a Greek goddess (Sybil) standing above an elaborately carved fountain. On both sides, the
piece extends with a curved wall and attached bench. Flanking each end is an urn on a pedestal with an eagle seated
at its base. A set of four marble steps descends to the lawn below. Sibyl was sculpted in 1903 by Waldo Story. The Bancroft
library was
donated to the town in 1898 by Joseph Bancroft, a Draper Company executive, in memory of his wife, Sylvia. The building

by Draper in 1894. Nothrup retired to California at the age of 42; as he appears to be in his late fifties or early
sixties in this portrait, it is most likely a photograph of another photograph. 20.25 x 25.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B2266. September 1919. Image depicts the Adin Ballou House on Dutcher Street
in Hopedale, Massachusetts The house is a two-story wooden house with two chimneys, and both front and back doors. A wrap-around
porch and set of steps join the front entry with a walkway to the sidewalk and street. Shrubs and climbing vines surround
the porch and house. Ballou (1803-1890) was a prominent proponent of pacifism, socialism and abolitionism, and the founder
(in
1842) of the Hopedale Community, a utopian community blending a factory town with a religious-based commune. George
and Ebenezer Draper withdrew their 75% of the community stock in 1856 to establish the Hopedale Manufacturing Company. Ballou
continued
on as Universalist pastor until retirement in 1880. The house was moved from its original location in 1900 to Dutcher
Street and the porch added to the building. See Box 2, Folder 3, Item 188 and Item 199 for views of the house in its original
location
at Peace and Hopedale streets. Original photograph by the Draper Corporation. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B160. May 12, 1903. Image depicts a three-story stone building situated on the
corner of Hopedale Street (in front of the building) and another, unknown street on the right. The building was designed by
architect Fred Swasey of Milford and built in 1886; note the cornerstone with the phrase "anno domini" and the date
in Roman numerals. The building appears to be in the Romanesque style, somewhat similar to that of H. H. Richardson. The building
has two
chimneys and a gabled roof with decorative ironwork running along the upper edge. There are three entrances at the
front, one of which is to the post office (note the two windows labeled "Post Office") and another to the left to another
business. The
curved archway is probably the entrance to the town hall itself. See also Box 3, Folder 2, Item 351. Original photograph

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B164. May 12, 1903. Image depicts the east side of Hopedale Street in Hopedale,
Massachusetts, between Social and Union streets. It is unclear if Hopedale Street is the unpaved street in the foreground,
or
if it is the side street on which a number of houses are visible. These houses are substantial two-story wood clapboard
buildings; another two-story wood clapboard house is on the right side of the side street. Some open ground or lawn separates
that
house from the unpaved street in the foreground. Trees line the side street. Original photograph by the Draper Company.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B165. Image depicts a view of the part of the east side of Hopedale Street in
Hopedale, Massachusetts, between Social & Union streets. Two residential, wooden clapboard buildings can be seen, with
glimpses of a few other houses in the background. Hopedale Street (which is the cross street in this view) is lined
with trees. The pole with the sign on it (which cannot be read from this angle) is at the beginning of the Draper Company
complex; see
Box 12, Floder 4, Item 135. The wide street in the foreground (either Social or Union Street) is unpaved. Original

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B170. May 12, 1903. Image depicts a two-story house with attic, shutters at the
windows, and a front porch that stretches the length of the house. A porte-cochere (carriage porch) is barely visible on the
left; it appears to be an extension of the porch. The house is set back from Hopedale Street (in the foreground) behind
a row of bushes and some lawn. Two trees flank Hopedale Street in front of the house. This is the house in which Charles and
Lura Day
lived; she was the daughter of Joseph and Sylvia Bancroft. The lot was owned by F. M. Day in the 1890s and was on the
corner of Hopedale and Hope streets. Hope Street would be to the right, beyond the edge of the image. The house stands opposite
the
Bancroft Memorial Library, which was built in 1898. Original photograph by the Draper Company. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B173. May 13, 1903. Image depicts a three-story wood clapboard house with a mansard
roof, a porch that stretches the length of the front of the house and around the corner, and a small one-story extension
with a bay window in the right rear. A balustrade runs around the edge of the front porch roof and of the roof over
the extension. The house sits at the corner of Hopedale and Draper streets; it originally belonged to George and Hannah Draper
and then
to their daughter and son-in-law, Hannah Twing Draper and Edward Louis Osgood. By 1920 the Osgoods had moved to another
house on the Hopedale-Milford line known as "The Larches." Original photograph by the Draper Company. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B175. Image depicts a stone church with a tower in front (hidden behind trees),
and an extension to the right. Trees and grass surround the church. The church is located at 65 Hopedale Street; the unpaved
street can be seen in the foreground. The parish was formed October 2, 1867. The church building was erected through
the generosity of Eben S. Draper and George Albert Draper in memory of their father and mother. Dedication services for the
church
edifice were held on September 15, 1898. The architectural style is English Gothic. See also Box 3, Folder 1, Item

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B177. May 16, 1903. Image depicts a view of the Draper Company shop, although
it is unknown if this is the temple shop or another department of the company. The building is a wood clapboard building,
and
appears to be four stories tall. A covered walkway on the left connects it to a brick building seen on the far left.
A horse hooked to an empty buggy stands on tree-shaded Hopedale Street. Grass and open space is in the foreground. The Draper

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B178. May 16, 1903. Image depicts a view of the west side of Hopedale Street
in Hopedale, Massachusetts, showing the Draper Company office. It is possible the two-story brick building in the center is
the
office, but it is unclear; the two-story building directly behind it with the one-story extension to the left may all
be part of the office. Both buildings have striped awnings on some of the windows. Larger factory buildings can be seen behind
in the
background on both sides. Hopedale Street is unpaved, as is the street running perpendicularly in the left foreground,
but both have sidewalks. There are a number of trees along the street. A set of trolley tracks runs along Hopedale Street.
A water
tower is on the top of the building at the left in the background. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery,
primarily looms. See Box 12, Folder 4, Item 134 for this same view taken nine days earlier. See Box 12, Folder 4, Item 135

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B179. Image depicts a view of the west side of Hopedale Street in Hopedale, Massachusetts,
showing a number of Draper Company buildings. There is a one-story wooden clapboard building with a tower in the
center; the tower is hidden behind trees. In the background are several three- and four-story brick buildings, all
part of the Draper Company complex. The sign on the pole in front of the wooden clapboard building reads: "Private Property.
Do No Drive
In. Very Dangerous." The wooden clapboard building is at a junction of Hopedale and another street, both unpaved. A
set of trolley tracks runs along Hopedale Street. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. See

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B181. May 28, 1903. Image depicts a view of a chain warper manufactured by the
Draper Company of Hopedale, Massachusetts The warper has been photographed against a sheet to set it off from other machinery
on the floor. A warper is any machine for preparing and arranging the yarns intended for the warp of a fabric. A ball
warper, for instance, is a machine for winding off yarn from a large number of packages and coiling it as a loose rope into
a ball. A
chain warp is a warp similar to a ball warp but usually of fewer threads, linked in the form of a chain so as to facilitate
bleaching, dyeing, shipping, etc. The Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B188. June 1, 1903. Image depicts a view of the east side of Dutcher Street in
Hopedale, Massachusetts The house on the right is a substantial two-and-a-half story building, most likely a two-family (note
the two sets of steps in the front). The house beyond it is smaller and may be a single family. Beyond that house is
a series of connected townhouses, probably multi-family. All are wood clapboard buildings. All have large expansive lawns
in front
bordering on the street. A dog lays on the lawn in the center foreground. These houses were most likely constructed
for Draper Company employees. Founders of the Draper Company, brothers George and Ebenezer Draper were responsible for creating
an
integrated, planned community with innovative employee housing and recreational spaces and events, in addition to employment.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B189. June 1, 1903. Image depicts a view of the side of a house on the east side
of Dutcher Street in Hopedale, Massachusetts The house is a two-and-a-half story wood clapboard building with shutters on
all
the windows. The porch in the front (on the left) is covered with ivy or a climbing vine. An expansive lawn surrounds
the house; a freestanding clothesline is in the side yard, in front of a much smaller house or storage building. A dog lays
on the lawn
in the center. Dutcher Street would be on the left, out of sight in this image. This house was most likely constructed

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B190. Image depicts a line of houses in Prospect Heights, Milford, Massachusetts
The first in the line is a series of connected townhouses, with eight total entrances. The next house appears to be detached
(there are two small children in front of it), and then a second set of connected townhouses, with a detached house
beyond that, etc. These are two-story brick buildings designed to accommodate multiple families. These buildings feature Tudor-style
timbering in the gables on the end building, roofed entrances (some single, some double), and shutters at all the windows
(some closed). There are small lawns in front between the houses and the street. Open space is in the foreground. Prospect
Heights
was built as housing for Draper Company employees, but most houses in Prospect Heights were brick, as opposed to the
wooden housing found in Hopedale, Massachusetts The houses are believed to have been designed by Peabody & Stearns. See Box
3,

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B861. February 11, 1911. Image depicts an unidentified male operative demonstrating
how mill operatives would suck the thread through the eye of a shuttle. The man holds the shuttle to his mouth; he would
use his right hand to draw the thread out. Mill operatives would draw the thread through their mouths to help smooth
it and make it easier to draw through the eye of the shuttle. However, sucking on cotton thread could eventually cause lung
problems and
did so in many mill operatives. The unidentified man wears work clothes: dark shirt and pants with a light tie. He
also wears wire-rimmed glasses. The demonstration takes place in an unidentified mill; the battery of a loom can be seen on
the left. He
is presumably a Draper Company employee. See Item 862 and Item 863, in this folder, for images of another employee
demonstrating this, and Box 15, Folder 2, Item 870 through Item 874 for images demonstrating this procedure using a skeleton.
As the
Draper Company manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms, and did not manufacture cloth, it is unclear what relation
this photograph has to Draper unless it was to demonstrate something with their looms. 20.25 x 25.25 cm.

Printed in 1974 from glass plate negative no.B874. February 15, 1911. Image depicts an unidentified young man demonstrating
how mill operatives would suck the thread through the eye of a shuttle by using a shuttle and a skeleton. The man holds a
shuttle to the mouth of the skeleton. Mill operatives would draw the thread through their mouths to help smooth it
and make it easier to draw through the eye of the shuttle. However, sucking on cotton thread could eventually cause lung problems
and did
so in many mill operatives. The unidentified man wears a suit with a sweater vest and dark tie. Whether he is a Draper
Company executive or someone else is unknown. See also Item 871, Item 872, and Item 873, in this folder, for views of another
man
demonstrating the same thing; Item 870, in this folder, for another view of this man, and Box 15, Folder 1, Item 862
and Item 863, in this folder, to see a male mill operative demonstrate this operation on a mill floor. As the Draper Company
manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms, and did not manufacture cloth, it is unclear what relation this photograph
has to Draper unless it was to demonstrate something with their looms. 25.25 x 20.25 cm.
