Description

Photographs (4), a copy printed on a single sheet, showing a group of men working in a railway postal office. They are in work clothes and standing in front of letter sorting cubes. Walter E. Larson is identified in bottom photos; he's the young man with his hand on his hat on the left side of the bottom left photo. The photos all appear to be from the same day, c 1918. The photos are printed as one on regular paper; uncertain if the photo is from a scan or a color photocopy. There is a typed note taped on the back with information about Larson's work history, and his brother's work history as well. His brothers Henning Jacob Larson, Conrad Nathaniel Larson, Jalmer Solomon Larson, Rueben Gideon Larson and Brother in law Benjamin D. Anderson all worked as Railway postal clerks.
