DescriptionGroup of women seated on stools at a workbench in an industrial interior, apparently operating machinery. Other women and men stand at the right. Most women wear aprons over long skirts. Most men wear aprons over work clothes, or overalls. Some men have beards or mustaches. At far right, another bench with vises on it runs along the wall beneath a row of windows. Wooden boxes are stacked beneath a third bench in the center of the room. A label on one reads: "Daisy Brand / Condensed Milk." Pipes, probably gas pipes run along the ceiling.
