Checking Weight of Twine
Female factory workers check the weight of bound twine, possibly at the McCormick Twine Mill. Original caption reads: "Matching up balls of baler twine to ensure a full 40-pound gross weight. Here also the wrapper is affixed in a manner to prevent tangling at the end of the ball. Here the balls are also packaged for shipment. The company guarantees the weight of the product." |
