Just when we think we've seen every classic old photo of Bluffton, a new one like this appears.

It's from the July 1945 Triplett Electrical Instrument newsletter. The identification of the Triplett employees is on the photo. Sorry, the youth in the picture are not identified, but our guess is that they would be in the late 70s or early 80s today.
