Scope and Contents
Negative no.B915. Image depicts an exhibit of Draper Company looms at Mechanics Hall in 1910. The location of Mechanics Hall is unknown, but it does not seem to resemble the interior of Mechanics Hall in Worcester, Massachusetts Image is taken from the balcony of the hall, looking down on a display of Draper Company looms, but from a slightly different angle than seen in Negative 916, in this box. Two signs for Draper Company hang above the display. The balcony across from the photographer is hung with banners and an American flag; it contains mannequins dressed in clothing. A sign at the far left of the balcony display reads "Wm. Filene's Sons Co." Signs in the bottom right corner of the image point downstairs to the cement and concrete construction display. The Draper Company, located in Hopedale, Massachusetts, manufactured textile machinery, primarily looms. See Negative 916, in this box, for another view of this exhibit. 8 x 10 in. See Collection 6612 P, Box 15, Folder 3, Item 915 for print of this negative.
