H7137 Fire drill of Public Scholl No. 23 at No. 70 Mullberry St., corner
Bayard St. The 500 children came down the winding outside steps from the
School House and were marched to the Fire Points Mission place. After
giving them a rest of 10 minutes they all returned in file with their
teacher, up the winding steps, back to their rooms. This picture shows the
ten minutes waiting, New York

H7138 Italian knife sharpener. This nice old man has a little stand with
his machine on the sidewalk on 20th St. between 5th and 6th Ave., where he
grinds daily the knives for the restaurants and the scissors for the
sweatshops. He has his steady customers in this locality as he is well
liked and does his work good. This picture was taken after he had examined
the broken scissors and told his customer the cost of mending it, New York
