Dry loft

Black and white photograph with ball point pen noting Dry Loft at the Boston Mat Leather Company, Peabody, Massachusetts.

In a large room with wooden floor and posts running down the center of it are two men. The one on the viewer's right stands with his arms crossed over his chest, wears glasses and is smiling. The one on the left holds a small stick lifting one piece of leather off a pile of them, looking at the camera with a bit of a smile. Behind them are racks of leathers hanging to dry.
