1) While older children and adults work on various steps in the garment making process, they also care for younger children, prepare meals and consider their options. Photographer: unknown, ca. 1900. Kheel Center 6153pb2f6-13

2) Scraps littered the floor in most garment shops. Over 95 percent of New York shops were found defective with respect to safety. Buildings were without fire escapes and adequate exits. Cluttered and crowded working conditions posed a health and fire risk in many shops, as did locked doors funneling workers leaving at the end of the day past a check point where bags were searched for stolen tools, material, or finished clothing. Photographer: unknown, ca. 1900. Kheel Center 5783pb1f3a
