1944 Photos Diamond Glass Co Picnic 3 Men Fred Yost, Daddy & Shots Royersford PA

Description: Here are two photos of three men enjoying themselves at a company picnic. All three are holding their drinks up toasting the photographer or each other. On the back of the one is written: This picture was taken at the Diamond Glass Co. picnic Sept. 5, 1944. Daddy, Shots, & Fred Yost they are holding beer Shots & Fred changed hats. Shots has a picture like this too. Both of these photos are the same, only one has the writing on the back of it. Diamond Glass Company was in Royersford, Pennsylvania, which is near where these two photos came from. From what information I could find it was in business from 1886 to 1990. They made soda and beer bottles, drugstore wares, wine bottles in different colors. Other research I did I found Fred Jacob Yost was born in 1904 according to his 1942 WWII draft registration he lived in Parkerford, PA, and he worked for Diamond Glass in Royersford. His obituary in the August 25, 1962 Pottstown Mercury, says he was the son of Charles and Kate (Reitnour) Yost and had worked for Diamond Glass until a few months before his death, he left there because of ill health. I don't know who "Daddy" or "Shots" was in the photo. The photos do not have writing over them like in the photos above. The photos are crinkled and have some rough edges and corners. One has writing on the back. Neat old photos. Postage will be 4.75 to the U. S. IF OUTSIDE THE U. S., PLEASE USE THE POSTAL CALCULATOR TO DETERMINE THE COST OF POSTAGE.
