Elevated interior view of the Boone Tire Factory. Men are lined up along a wall with open windows. They are each using a stand to hold a wheel while wrapping a layer of canvas or rubber around the outside edge of the tire. Shelves on the right hold canvas and strips of rubber. Several other men stand between racks of tires, observing them. The room also contains machinery and shelving.
