Drying Sisal Fibers in Cuba
Women wearing straw hats spread sisal fibers out to dry on an International Harvester sisal plantation in Cuba. Original caption reads: "Native women are shown spreading the Sisal fiber to dry. Many days of sunshine annually makes Cuba an ideal location for the growing and processing of Sisal fiber for the making of twine." |
