Description
Photograph of General Telephone Company workers with a digger which is boring a hole, ca.1940. To the right, a man wearing a lightly colored shirt and trousers stands holding a shovel with his gloved hands. He looks down while a large digger machine with a spinning head throws dirt in every direction. The machine appears to be attached to a truck behind the hole where the bottom half of a man is visible standing on the back.
