Typical scene around a quarry with the cables used to hoist slate out of the quarry.

This could be the Penn Lynn quarry operaation, but I am not sure and will have to do some more study of the image.

Unidentified workers, photo postcard by Stauffer, Slatington, Pa.

The town is to the left of this quarry scene.

Slate quarry near Slatington, seen looking west, showing workmen engaged in clearing a "ribboned" slate from the surface of thick workable bed.

Deckle-edge postcard

There are a couple of railroad boxcars in the photo, placed there for loading of roofing slates (most likely).

Good example of original slate curbing still located on some streets in Slatington.
