National Archives Flickr Albums. The Shining. This young man says he is 15 years old and sometimes works until 11 P.M. Indianapolis, Indiana, August 1908. Between working conditions and pay, the young man may have it better than any of the others in the child labor series photos I have posted, even if he worked for just tips. Retrieved 13 Oct 2016.

Here we certainly se a very busy young man,shining shoe I wonder if he has his own business shining shoe thanks for sharing this great photo
Hello and you're welcome, Susan. In this photo it said he is working for a company. But hopefully he learned the skills necessary and saved up enough cash to go out on his own. There can be endless opportunities to upsell in this type of business. I am not worried about this guy; its many of the other jobs kids were doing in this series, being taken advantage of, with horrible working conditions that disturbs me. Thanks for commenting.
