Family of B. F. Clark, 219 N. 4th Street. This family has worked in 8 different mill villages in the past five years. Clark was a prosperous farmer, before that, but his farm ran down. He says mill families get the habit of moving from place to place. And mills are writing all the time, giving great inducements and trying to fool you too. Some of the families around here have moved much more than we have. Moving eats up a heap of money. The father and all in group except mother and baby are in the mill. Home bare and ill-kept. Abstract: Photographs from the records of the National Child Labor
