Woman Balling Twine | Photograph | Wisconsin Historical Society
A female factory worker assembles a ball of twine, possibly at the McCormick Twine Mill. Original caption reads: "Tucking in the end of the twine after the criss-cross cover has been put on a ball of binder twine. The criss-cross cover allows the farmer to use the ball to the end, without its collapsing or tangling."
