Smell the Bird: 1937
Dec. 4, 1937. Washington, D.C. "Correct way to bake turkey. H.E. McClure, of the Bureau of Husbandry, tests the turkey meat for odor." With this pungent image, Shorpy begins his seventh holiday season online and wishes a Happy Thanksgiving to all! Harris & Ewing Collection glass negative. View full size.

He'll sniff the soda crackers next, in order to cleanse his olfactory palate.
Oh, and Happy Thanksgiving to Dave, Tterrace, Shorpy, and all the contributors to this amazing site.
Overtime?
According to the November 1937 calendar at upper left, Dec. 4th is a Saturday. Mr. McClure must have been one busy turkey-sniffer.
Perhaps the image is from Nov. 4th?
[This is one of eleven turkey-baking photos taken at the Department of Agriculture dated December 4, 1937. - Dave]
Happy Thanksgiving, Shorpy!
I am thankful for Shorpy every single day -- for the wonderful photos, the witty titles, the artful insertions of Shorpy himself and the logo, and the fascinating comments of observers. What an education I receive! Thanksgiving blessings to all!!
