One of the smallest negro oyster shuckers that I found on the Atlantic Coast. Usually they do not work the negro children. Varn & Platt Canning Co. Location: Bluffton, South Carolina.

7 year old oyster shucker. Speaks no English. Father and mother earn about $15 a week, and this little one works steady and her six year old brother same. Lowden Canning Co. Location: Bluffton, South Carolina.
