Scope and Content

Leaf from Keuffel & Esser Co. 36th edition catalogue, 1921, being pages 85-86 with markings identifying one or more persons in the printed photos. While of no value as a catalogue page, it is of interest as a document showing the an uncommon use of the K&E catalog. Two photographs of the factory interior are printed: Top: view of assembling room, Drawing Instrument Dept. Bottom: view of grinding room of Drawing Instrument Dept. Each one has markings in pencil and red pencil indicating individuals in the scene. While the lower one appears to be "Misik", the upper one has only two sets of initial letters. "AWK" and "RS." Presumably an employee or a relative was using it to identify people who worked there at one time.
