Blowers’ Dogs

Nothing happened quickly. So many opposed to everything we stood up for. Said: 

They would have to shut down the biggest glass works in the State, if they couldn’t bring seven year old boys from the orphanage to be Blowers’ Dogs. 

The name says it all.

Glass Blower and Mold Boy. Boy has 4 1/2 hours of this at a stretch, then an hour's rest and 4 1/2 more: cramped position. Day shift one week: night shift next. (see label on photo 162.) Grafton, West Virginia. Photographer: Hine, Lewis Wickes, 1874-1940
