Working class folks didn't go to dentists for tooth extraction back then.  He clearly is removing an infected molar with a Foster wrench. I guess the string on a door knob method didn't work for him -- I can testify that it works on baby teeth.

I agree, going off of Kevin's picture, that he's jammin' away, or maybe pleading with the boss to let him ride the train.

I left my August issue at our place up north.

That fellow certainly looks like he is having a jam session.

 Either that, or he's charming a snake out of the basket in front of him.

The August MR Cover

I was just looking at the cover of the August MR this morning. Look at the loco: to the right is a boxcar at a loading platform.

Is it just me, or is there a guy, sorta fuzzy, in blue jeans and a red shirt, wailing on a trumpet?
