About this postcard

Three young men in work clothes and overalls pose on the wooden steps of a clapboard building. One man stands at the top of the steps, one stands at left, and one sits on a lower step. Their plain dress and relaxed poses suggest a casual workplace or family photograph from a small Pennsylvania community in the early 1910s.
