H. C. Carroll & Sons 

Were busy hauling even to late in the afternoon of the 24th. Quoting Peter Carroll: “The year has been a good one, and we have much to be thankful for. Our output for the year will be in the neighborhood of thirteen to fourteen million. Much work has been operative, and as a consequence, the many strikes touching the larger buildings has not seriously interferred with us. We have all the clay we want well housed, our men well satisfied. There’s nothing I crave for tomorrow, but a light fall of snow, so that our children may have an excuse to wear their new rubber-shoes.” With an invite to jump in and be driven back to the center of the city, I take a snap shot at him as he leans waiting patiently for the roan mare to be buckled up.
