Men in the Ariss Blacksmith Shop

Title

Men in the Ariss Blacksmith Shop

Description

A group of men inside the Ariss Blacksmith shop in Tigard, Oregon circa 1912. A note on the back of the photograph identifies some of the men as Bill Ariss, Kuhne, and Hunziker. Most of the men wear overalls or work coveralls, and a great deal of equipment fills the walls behind them. Pliers and forceps hang alongside a forge, and horseshoes, bits, and other tack materials can be seen hanging on the wall. In the center of the image, one man holds what looks like a large hubcap with spokes and lug nuts over a trough of water.
