EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1925, we are transported back to the Feinberg Rubber Yards in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Here, an astonishing sight unfolds before our eyes - the world's largest pile of auto tires. Towering high above two diligent workers, it is a testament to the tireless labor that takes place at this recycling plant every day. The significance of this image goes beyond its historical value; it symbolizes an era on the brink of change. As we gaze upon these discarded car tires awaiting their fate, we learn that their rubber will be cut up and melted down for reuse. However, lurking in the background is news that spells doom for businesses like Feinberg Rubber Yards. Harvey Firestone has recently secured a massive rubber concession in Liberia - a move that will ultimately control half of the world's supply. This development renders establishments such as this one unprofitable and uncertain about their future. Amidst all these uncertainties lies an undeniable beauty within this monochromatic scene. The stark contrast between light and shadow highlights not only the immense pile but also emphasizes the hard work undertaken by these two men who stand amidst it all. As we reflect on this photograph from nearly a century ago, let us appreciate both its ecological implications and its depiction of human perseverance against impending changes in industry and technology.
