My Father's Art Work---Page 6

A commercial ad designed by 

Adelard Daniel Poirier

 probably in the 1920s

My father  did not pursue work as a 
commercial  artist.  

During the last 20 years  of his life -- beginning in the great depression of the 1930s -- he worked doing manual labor

 in a glass factory and at the 
Dewey and Almy Chemical Plant

not far from Edmunds Street in North Cambridge, Massachusetts.
