Title: Telephone Linemen
Description: Outdoor group portrait of a telephone line crew. The six men are wearing hats and work clothes, and five of the men are wearing belts and straps around their waist, calves and shoes. They appear to be standing in a barnyard, with buildings in the background. Just behind them is a wagon with what looks to be the handles of shovels or other implements hanging over the tailgate.
