    This was saved by my friend who worked in USM company then and retired in 1975 when it closed. He was the last photographer and had all cameras and negatives, a lot went to Washington Museums .The negative has red on the faces for 2 guys to print nice. They faces were too white so they painted red on the negative which will be gray on a B/W print.
