Roosevelt's son learns labor by working at Hartford Carpet Co
A lettered observation notes President Roosevelt guides his eldest son to choose a trade, sending him to work as a factory hand at Hartford Carpet Co in Thompsonville for five dollars weekly. The youth labors 7 AM to 6:15 PM with a midday 45 minute lunch, no favoritism shown, and the boss praises his discipline.
