• In the 1920 census lists Sanford (then approx 17) as a doffler. "Doffing was hard work. It was a doffer's job to push a large wooden doffers box from row to row and collect finished spools. If the doffers were small, they would have to climb up the side of the looms to reach the top spools. Often they would not wear shoes because it made climbing easier. This was a typical job for boys in the textile mills." - Leberman
