    It's wild to see various jobs/occupations like these that have come into being in the late 19th century and lasted less than a century...all computerized now.

    Quite a humble director. I wouldn't want to do the work that the ladies in the background do.

    I love the fact that the current mayor if the time 'Isaac R. Kirkwood' has a number of sneaky tats under his sleeve! Looks naval, perhaps from serving in WW2 or National Service.
