Grand Forks Press Photo Sampler, 1940s-1950s

This short archive was acquired at some auction in 2008. They appear to be reference photos for sale; the backs of some have notes, negative numbers, and cryptic codes written in by hand, and they are 3-hole-punched down the left edge, which would lead me to believe they were intended to be sold to newspapers. Most are related to the 1950 Red River Flood.
