Description
Photograph of the interior of the Madsen Iron Works factory, ca.1925. A man wearing denim overalls stands with his back to the viewer in the center while another man to the left of center stands on a platform in the back. The second man holds a round object over the door to a large darkly colored furnace on the right. The furnace emits a glow while liquid pours down a funnel and into a bucket that is attached to a hook hanging from the ceiling. A sign above the men reads, " Where Are Your Goggles Do They Fit You Wear Them".
