Photograph showing vendor Joe Harty holding up a copy of a newspaper, probably the Oregon Journal, and looking to the right. A large headline across the top of the front page of the paper begins with the words “BULLETS AND.” Harty is holding a stack of additional papers under his arm. Harty, whose legs were amputated in a train accident when he was a child, is sitting on a low board with wheels, which he used for transportation. The photograph was probably taken at the corner of SW Broadway and Washington Street in Portland, where Harty sold newspapers for more than 40 years. Image note: The name “Joe Hardy [sic]” is written on the negative and is visible on the left side of the image.
