Retirement Party for George Henry “Harry” Pickard
The Larches – 1950
Thanks to Mary Ellen Pickard Shaw, granddaughter of George Henry “Harry” Pickard, for these pictures. Harry was Assistant Works Superintendent at Draper Corporation when he retired in 1950. Ms. Shaw wrote, “When he went to work in 1900 at age 15 he was making 15 cents per hour.”
It seems that these pictures show another event in addition to the Pickard party. Jack Hayes noticed that his father appears in two pictures wearing different ties. Perhaps if you look close, you can find other men with different ties.
Included with the party pictures was a Draper shop organization chart.
