DESCRIPTION	ILASCO, MO - The Atlas Portland Cement Company paid for its employees to have an annual picnic.  These picnics were always on a payday Friday.  This picnic of both management and labor, none of whom are identified, in the LeBaume Valley shows a happy group (why not? - the food and beer were plentiful ; horseshoes were flying ; card games like pinochle and pitch were ongoing ; games of chance like poker and craps were being played, too.)  Unfortunately, war will break out in five months and many of these men will leave the cement plant to serve in the Armed Forces.
