DESCRIPTION	THE PLANT - This is 1/4 of a picture of one of the limestone quarries of the Atlas Portland Cement Company in its early years.  A number of employees are visible, on the cliff top, operating a piece of equipment on the center right, and just below the equipment operator.  None of these laborers are identified, but it is a safe assumption that they are immigrants from Central and Southern Europe brought to this country for the express purpose of working for the Company.
