More on Phillips Packing Company

I'm going to continue more random musings about Phillips Packing Company in Cambridge, MD. 

June 1937 Strike at Phillips Packing Company, from "Cambridge Past & Present, A Pictorial History," by Donald L. Reid, Roger Guy Webster, & Hubert H. Wright IV, published by The Donning Company/Publishers in 1986 (ISBN 0-89865-491-2)

In the first photo, taken around the June 1937 strike at Phillips by an unknown photographer. I believe that is Washington Street crossing the railroad tracks in the photo. This can be found in the excellent book “Cambridge Past & Present, A Pictorial History,” by Donald L. Reid, Roger Guy Webster, & Hubert H. Wright IV, published by The Donning Company/Publishers in 1986 (ISBN 0-89865-491-2).

The next photo is the Phillips Packing Company Factory B office (with the smokestacks in the background) in 1996, by an unknown photographer from a Maryland Historic Trust document on the study of the former Phillips Packing ground (D-710: Office, Factory B, Phillips Packing Company, Inc., Architectural Survey File, April 16, 1996).
