Lazy Summer Afternoon

“Lazy Summer Afternoon” (1939)
Submitted by: Peter Amos
Photographer: Harold Amos

Jack Bradford grew up in North Bay and often fished with his best friend Harold Amos. Jack served in the army and after he returned from service he opened his own store called “Jack Bradford’s Boys and Mens Wear” at 172 Main Street W. Jack had a good sense of humour, which is evident in this photograph of him “fishing”.
