mansfield tire and rubber manufacturing facility (circa 1930)


 
(1024x768) 
staring deep into the camera and future, these proud tire manufacturers exhibit their craft, and their time.
this old untitled unmarked book, sealed in plain cardboard, veritably freezes their time and ours, making us members of one huge timeless lifeblock.


having spent a full  working life in factories with workers like these, as they earned their existences, these photos, and their character and pride  are  very precious to me...

i miss their special friendship, humanity, and teamwork more than you will can know.


























  
come sunday
