This is an original 1936 halftone print of two operators at Keeshin Transcontinental Freight Lines, Inc. in Chicago, Illinois. The caption writes, "In the man's raised hand, work for a driver. The pickup orders from the switchboard clatter into a cubbyhole where dispatcher Billy Ahrens (right) sorts them by route. As each city driver telephones in, Billy Ahrens tells him where to go and what to do next."
