The title points to a camp connected with the Du Pont name, and an automobile appears to be its central subject, though the record does not say which camp or where it stood. Bain News Service, the New York photo agency whose glass negatives make up this collection, covered news, industry and everyday life in the early twentieth century, and its captions were often brief. The title comes from data the agency wrote on its negatives or caption cards, which the record marks as unverified, so the exact place and date remain open. Automobiles at rural and industrial sites from this period are worth noticing, since they show how quickly motor travel was reaching places once served mainly by rail or horse.
