DESCRIPTION THE PLANT - This is 1/5 of a picture of one of the limestone quarries of the Atlas Portland Cement Company in its early years.  There is a lot of activity in this picture, i.e. horse drawn carts and workers.  Although none of the workers are identified, it would be a safe assumption that they are immigrant laborers who live in the company city of Ilasco.
