Title:

Closing of the Jerome Center, Denson, Arkansas. A sentimental custom still practiced by many when friends part is the trailing of paper streamers from the car windows. The parties hold tightly to the ends of the tape until it is broken by the movement of the train, thus in a sense prolonging the hand clasp. Here two small boys grasp the ribbons which extends to their little friend in the coach window. -- Photographer: Mace, Charles E. -- Denson, Arkansas. 6/19/44
