Paddle wheeler on the Missouri River at Mound City, MO 1910. Can’t read the name on the pilot house. There was a regular route running from Rulo, NE (and Omaha/Council Bluffs farther north) down to Saint Joseph, & on to Kansas City, & all river stops in between . The river wasn’t yet channelized so shallow water & snags were commonplace.
The slight colorization & the 8 MB size make for a great pic on my monitor.

In the past, factories often employed individuals known as “lectores” to read stories aloud, providing entertainment and a break from the monotony of work.
This practice first emerged in the 1860s within Cuban cigar factories. In the United States, the custom was common in the cigar factories of Ybor City in Tampa but was discontinued after the Ybor City cigar makers’ strike of 1931.
