The image shows a vintage photograph from "Welfare Institutions, N. O. Nelson Co., Leclaire, Ill." The photograph is of a neighborhood street in Leclaire, Illinois, with houses visible in the background. The street is dirt, and there are grassy areas on either side. Small trees are planted along the sides of the street. The sky is white or very light gray.

The photograph also has text captions below and beside it. On the left side, a caption reads, "The village of Leclaire has about 150 houses, probably 100 were built by the company for various employees, the others are built by private individuals. The company owns at present only 12 houses which are being rented mostly to employees, though 2 or 3 of them are occupied by outsiders. When an employee has bought and paid for a house, the company does not reserve the rights to repurchase. He is free to sell to whom he chooses. All the company sales for houses to employees have been on sale contracts for deeds when payments are completed. These payments vary according to the value of the house, and somewhat according to the man's income. It is not expected that a man getting $14. per week, will pay as much as one whose earnings are $20...and for this reason each class is urged to stay within their means. For seldom the company feel disposed to sell a high-priced..."

On the right side, a caption continues, "...house and lot to a man of small income. It has been found in experi-ence that men getting $14. a week can readily pay as much as $14. per month on a house when they are paying for it for themselves. If they simply renting they would probably have to pay $10. or $12. and then have nothing to show for it. In fact, some common laborers who earn $10.50 per week are buying their own place, and have no difficulty in paying as much as $12. per month on their contract." The caption then says, "Statement made by the Secretary of the N.O. Nelson Manufacturing Co., March 1911."
