At the very top, a handwritten note reads: "Post, October 13, 1929".

"THEY WEAR YOUR WORN OUT DUDS"
Beneath this, a sub-headline reads:
"B. U. and Harvard Professor, With Excavation Expedition in Asia, Tells of Native Workers"
This article recounts the experiences of Dr. Robert H. Pfeiffer, a professor at Boston University and Harvard, who led an excavation expedition in Kirkuk, Iraq. It details how local native workers, particularly women and children, repurposed donated old American clothing ("worn out duds") as part of their traditional "coats of many colors." The article also mentions an incident where the excavation project caused unrest among locals over the picking of cotton sticks, leading to a confrontation that resulted in five people being wounded.
Below this text is a grainy, black-and-white photograph, captioned:
"LOUISE PFEIFFER GIVES BEADS TO HER BROTHER"
The photo shows a young girl, Louise Pfeiffer, in a light-colored, flowing dress and veil, offering a string of beads to a young boy, presumably her brother Paul Pfeiffer. They are standing outdoors in a natural, rustic setting, surrounded by foliage and a rough, woven fence or wall. The children are dressed in simple, possibly homemade clothing, contrasting with their status as the children of prominent professors.
