Harry at Work

From the Schavey envelope collection.

Harry 1918

On the back of this photo, someone has written: "Harry (right) 1918." Well, I believe Harry Breyfogle is in that picture, but I think he's the one on the left. And in 1918 Harry was about 15 years old; could anyone in that picture pass for 15? I don't know. Maybe he is at right and simply hasn't grown into his true Breyfogle mouth, which is so evident on his father, at left. Which is pure speculation on my part.

They all look dressed to work. This may be at home on the Breyfogle farm. But somehow, to me, this scene has a more industrial look.
