Description
This photograph has three images. The first one, (0272_0008), is a newspaper photo and the headline reads "Workers Receive Last Paychecks." The caption reads, "With its contract fulfilled the Six Companies Corporation turned Boulder Dam over to the government yesterday. Workmen on the project are showing receiving their last paychecks as the engineering concern closed books. Some 1600 men will remain as government employees." The second one, (0272_0009) rotated to the right, shows a Mess Hall for Six Companies employees. It reads, "The best of meals were served three times a day, and when each shift starts down to work, all the sandwiches you can carry plus drinks $1.75 a day with room. Entrance on right is celebrity dining room where lots of movie stars had dinner. Clara Bow came often. She and husband had a ranch nearby. (Bell Ranch)," as a handwritten inscription. The third one (0272_0010) that's upside down, shows a Motor transport (150 men), Boulder Dam. (U.S. Bureau of Reclamation photo). It reads, "Too tired and sleepy to want anything but a shower and bed," as a handwritten inscription.
