Sawmill workers

Herb Doman speaks with two other men in a rain-soaked parking lot during an unidentified Doman Industries ribbon-cutting ceremony. Three cars are parked to the right of the men, another parked car is cut off by the leftmost edge of the photo. A small shed stands beyond the edge of the lot to their right. Part of another lot can be seen behind them, containing fences, piles of dirt or gravel, and various industrial scaffolds. Mills and related industrial buildings can be seen far in the background. A forested coastline is visible behind the mills.

Four men pose for a photo in a rain-soaked parking lot during an unidentified Doman Industries ribbon-cutting ceremony. The man second from the left holds an open umbrella and has his right hand on the leftmost man's shoulder. The man second from the right wears a hardhat and holds a closed umbrella. The rightmost man wears a jacket bearing the Uniroyal logo. A transport truck and an industrial crane are parked at the edge of the dock behind the men. Forested hills are visible across the water.
