Description: This photo was taken at Camp 44, located at the Upper South Branch of the Kedgwick River, which operated from 1950 to 1952. The foremen were Mr. Antoine Pelletier and Mr. Léon Hébert. Here we can see bunk beds as well as a chest with a padlock. Sometimes a logger would sell products such as tobacco or chocolate. Those products were kept in a chest like the one shown in this picture.
