Louis Gitney: 1917
February 1917. New York. "Louis Gitney, a young compositor earning $7 a week in a Sixth Avenue (N.Y.) printing office. He learned the trade at Public School 64." 5x7 inch glass negative by Lewis Wickes Hine. View full size.
Stet!
My favorite sort of Shorpy photo -- young Louis wouldn't recognize any part of the process or equipment now used to perform his work. Or many of the printed products, either.
I did that in college
The pay was better at 35 cents per hour in Bethlehem, Pa. It was in the Shaffer printing plant, which had a contract with the college in 1945 and 1946.
