- Description:
- A large, posed group of light skinned female employees, along with a few men, of the Farr Alpaca Co., of Holyoke, Mass., possibly the employees of the weave room. The people are arranged in 5 long rows and are all dressed casually in short sleeves without hats. The man in the center in the short-sleeved, open-neck white shirt is identified as Jim Whyte. The woman in the second row from the back, sixth from the left, is identified as Myrtle Potts, who later married Jim Whyte. Photo has been selectively hand colored: clothes are colored lightly in yellows, oranges, blues, and pinks, and hair and cheeks are occasionally colored.
