Wilmington, Delaware, 1910. “Frank F. Gibson, Western Union, fourteen years old, one year in service, guides soldiers to segregated district, smokes, still in school and works from 8:30 P.M. to 12:30 P.M.” (Lewis Hine Collection, LC)

The young were valued customers in the candy shops and restaurants and in a score of other entertainment establishments. They appeared at precisely the moment when an afternoon lull had set in. The lunch hour was long gone; dinnertime and the homebound commuter rush were still in the future. For those few hours in between and then again after the rush had subsided, the children and their nickels were very welcome.
