93 Old Photos That Show People And Places That Will Never Return (New Pics)

I found a very h‍i‍g‍h resolution photo online. The line in front of the man holding a glove in his left hand is a thick, slightly frayed rope tied to a U-shaped bar that has two hooked ends that catch a straight bar on the front of the cart. This setup allows ropes to be easily attached to the cart to pull the cart forward by winch, people, etc. You can also see a second rope behind the man, pulled taut and looks like it's doing the same thing on the other side of the cart. The man is standing in between the ropes and probably took his glove off to better handle the placement of the hooks. After he got the hooks in place, it looks like he and the crew posed for the photo. The posted photo has such poor resolution, you can't see any of the detail that's in the h‍i‍g‍h res photo. If other members have other interpretations of the h‍i‍g‍h res photo, I'd enjoy hearing about them. (Loading copper, Houghton, Michigan, c1905.jpg, Wikimedia Commons)

From the original entry: "I had to do a bit of research on this but the term 'j‍u‍n‍k‍i‍e' existed for addicts in general, apparently since the 1920s, but could also mean people who traded in scrap/junk metal, as used in the official title of this photograph"

Something of a source of contention to show it that way, the "Parties" referred to did not really exist as we would understand them today, were just a loose association of members who would agree about a particular subject, in this case the fallout from the Dreyfuss scandal.

Meh, before having someone sit there sorting this out, I'd try roasting a small amount, a cup or two, on low heat until the raw beans are a light roast. Sure the roasted ones would get cooked a bit more, but hey, maybe you'd hit upon a new house blend.
