EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1909, offers a glimpse into the past of the Salvation Army's innovative approach to addressing poverty and unemployment during the early 1900s. The image depicts a bustling scene inside an elevator, which served as a unique combination of a factory space and hostel accommodation for the men working there. The unskilled or unemployed men, dressed in caps, are seen sorting waste paper, an essential task in the recycling industry at the time. The Salvation Army's elevator was an Edwardian-era solution to provide both shelter and employment opportunities for those in need. The room, filled with the hum of industry and the clatter of paper being sorted, is a testament to the charitable organization's forward-thinking approach. The elevator, a historical relic of the past, was designed to help break the cycle of poverty by providing training and employment in a supportive environment. The men, focused on their tasks, are a reminder of the determination and resilience required to overcome adversity. The photograph also highlights the importance of recycling and the role it played in the economy during this period. The Salvation Army's initiative not only provided essential services but also contributed to the waste paper industry, making it a vital part of the industrial landscape. This image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the ingenuity and compassion of the Salvation Army and the resilience of those they sought to help.
