Background

Frank Corbin works in his victory garden situated behind 91 E. Granville Rd.. Victory gardens were popular in the United States during both world wars as a way for individuals to economically produce their own food and contribute to the war effort. Corbin is pictured pushing a walk-behind tractor, which would have provided mowing, tilling and chipping capabilities, aided by a small motor.

He was active in Worthington and the surrounding area, having been a city council member and a board member for the Worthington Library.
