Working on Wednesday: The Curreys' Cement Mixer

It's the same cement mixer in these two photos, taken over 30 years apart. Bernice and Junior are the workers in front of the Encanto house, dated September 1928. The lower photo was taken during construction of the house in the little desert community of Ocotillo in Imperial Valley in the early 1960s.


[From my personal collection]


Dad Currey always painted his tools red (to match his red truck).
