Family Business: Hartford, Connecticut

This is Joe Manning, of the Lewis Hine Project. I just talked to the nephew of these three boys. He didn't know about the photograph. More later.

The 1910 census shows John Pinto still working for the Post Telegraph. John was born in Italy but the twins are American born. Parents, Domenico and Mary, also had three younger children. Sure hope John got a bigger jacket soon.
