Text on reverse: "In connection with its schools, but in a separate building and under the charge of trained kindergartners, the Proximity Manufacturing Company maintains a kindergarten for the children not yet of school age. Here the little fellows spend their mornings singing songs, playing games, and having their nimble fingers trained. At Christmas, trees are decorated at the schools and kindergarten and every child receives from the Company a Christmas gift and a box of candy, nuts and raisins."
A pair of nearly identical photographs for viewing the depicted image in three dimensions with a stereograph viewer. Interior of a light-painted room with decorative floral wainscotting. Two light skinned women in long light-colored dresses look over two tables of young light skinned children. There are roughly a dozen children per table, and they are all seated, playing with wooden blocks. They are looking in different directions, some at the camera. On the right side of the frame is a closed door and a fireplace, unlit, with flowers and flags on the mantel. The top third of the image is largely lightly patterned, not very smooth ceiling.
Notes:
No. 19 in a set of 25 stereocards. The Proximity Manufacturing Company operated the Proximity and White Oak Cotton Mills, both of which made denim.
