DESCRIPTION	THE PLANT - Safety was very important.  Here is a sign that workers are in the boiler ; boiler accidents were a great fear.  Workers could die or be severely injured.  The white letters on the red base (applied artificially because the photographs of the time were only black and white) are what the workers actually saw when they entered the Boiler House.
