Three Youths from Cincinnati
Location : Los Angeles, CA
Description : Three youths from Cincinnati, Ohio, traveling together. They had left home about three weeks before this picture was taken, stopping off in Los Angeles with the uncle of one of them for a couple of days. All three said they have gone through high school. The boy on the left had never been employed, the one in the middle had worked in a cellophane bag factory for about six weeks, and the third had been employed for a short while as an apprentice jeweler after having taken vocational training in the printing trade while in high school. When photographed, they were at the railroad yards looking over the possibilities of catching a freight and means of eluding the railroad guards. When asked where they were going, one of them said, "Just bumming around; you can see an awful lot of pretty stuff from the freights." Pressed as to their actual objective, they said, "We hear there's a lot of farm work up in Nevada." Listed Under:
