A bricklayer works at his trade inside a building in this photoprint, dated around November 29, 1922. C.J. Hibbard of Minneapolis, Minnesota, made the print, and its copyright entry names the Smith Beal Fire Brick Co., suggesting it was produced to show the firm's product in use. Fire brick is a heat-resistant brick used to line furnaces, kilns and boilers, so the scene likely reflects industrial construction of the era. The date and some caption details come from an unverified card, so readers should treat them as approximate.
