Tools of the Trade - Kilgore - 1939

Tools of the Trade This image was taken at Kilgore in 1939.  There's no high drama here. Just a working man's tools at the ready for whatever the job requires. It's a handsome image take by Russell Lee for the Farm Services Administration during the Great Depresion. A generation later he became the first photography instructor at the University of Texas.
