![The image shows a sepia-toned photograph of two young boys standing on a city sidewalk in the early 1900s. The boy on the left, who appears to be around 8 years old, is wearing a dark jacket and hat with glasses perched atop his head. He holds several bundles wrapped up like newspapers under one arm and seems focused intently ahead.
The taller older boy stands beside him, dressed in similar attire including boots, trousers, and another coat, holding what looks to be a larger bundle or box of papers on the street corner. The setting is urban with old-fashioned automobiles visible behind them, suggesting this scene takes place during an early era when motorized vehicles were becoming more common.
The photograph seems to capture a moment in time where these young boys are engaged in some form of newspaper delivery work despite their age. This image can be found on the website images.loener.nl and is associated with Philip Weinstein who was 8 years old at the time, possibly using another boy as a decoy for his deliveries during late hours such as midnight or early morning.
Further context from an external source indicates that Philpot said he played hockey once but got fired.

![This black and white photograph captures a moment in the early 20th century textile industry. Two young boys, one wearing overalls and another with an apron, are working on a large loom machine within what appears to be a factory setting. The older boy is operating the doffer mechanism, responsible for feeding fresh threads into the loom as needed, while the younger boy assists by handling the spindle holders that carry finished yarns or threads.
The boys' expressions and body language suggest concentration and diligence in their tasks. Their attire – sleeveless shirts and overalls – indicates a working environment where practical clothing is required due to physical labor involved. The setting includes multiple layers of machinery, with numerous spindles visible on the loom, indicating that this was likely an operation producing large quantities of fabric.
The photograph provides insight into child labor conditions during that era in industrial America, highlighting the youth's involvement and dependence within such environments. Additional context can be found from King Philip - Mule Spinning Room by Thomas Nicholls at 54 Kilburn St., with a reference to tube boy age 14 years old on the right side of the image, doffer aged 16 years old on the left side. The location is identified as Fall River, Massachusetts.
