Breaker Boy
American coal breakers relied on breaker boys to separate impurities from coal. Childen ages 8 to 12 were usually hired for the job and the job was often labor-intensive. Although the public argued against letting children work in these conditions— child labor laws were ignored. This job continued into the 1920s until child labor laws started to become more strictly enforced and coal separation technology improved.

Jefferson,
That's right. A couple round here deliver their own milk, butter, spuds and loads of other stuff. Great service too, specially as I'm locked in until at least the end of June!
#2 Wonder when that was taken? He's wearing a leather jerking issues by HM army from around 1916 up to the 1940's. Great jacket apparently. You can still buy copies of them.
