The Old Glove Factory

This building used to house the glove factory that used to be here in town. For about a month, when my family moved to Norris City back in 1974, my Mom worked at the glove factory. She did this to help bring in an income until Dad’s electric motor repair shop could get established. I don’t think the glove factory lasted past the 1970s.

This disposable camera was one I bought back in 2013 and I’m finally getting around to using it. You can’t use a camera you got at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, in Springfield, Illinois, just anywhere!
