This photo postcard shows the brass marching band from the Boy’s Industrial School. Unforttunately we dob't know where the school was located, but we would say the Mid-West. There is a banner, but we can not make it out. Posed in front of the brick schoolhouse are; the band leader, a young child and 3 rows of pre-teen and teen band members holding their instruments. The AZO card is undated, but the stamp box indicated it was taken sonetime from 1904-17. We would guess some time in the 1900s. rather than the 10s. It is postally unused but does have writing on the backside. It states: “Another “smut” exhibition. Wouldn’t know me, would you!” I'm not too sure what the boy meant. Nor I am entirely sure what an industrial school was. This may have meant a school that focused on manual arts rather than academics. It may have meant a reform school, I'm not yet sure.
