The caption from the booklet is as follows: "The best evidence that the bootleg coal industry is not of recent innovation is given in the above replica of of a picture taken during the memorable strike of 1902, when hundreds of people of the Anthracite region went to the coal banks and mine drifts to obtain coal for use in their own homes. The teams shown above were owned by Shamokin business men and others who used them in hauling coal for their homes and business places."
