Ladies Cafeteria at Osbourne Works
Image
Slightly elevated view of a canteen filled with women dressed in work clothes and hats. The room is equipped with wooden tables, chairs, and white dishes. The room appears to be on a lower level of a factory as windows are along the top of the room. The wall has a few posters of religious figures. In a back corner is a women wearing a dark apron with a cart of food. The women are likely employees of the International Harvester Osbourne Works in Auburn, New York.
