These shoe
stitchers at the Wise & Cooper Company in Lewiston are called from
their machines by their floor foreman to pose for this photograph
circa 1910. The age range of the women suggests that many may have
worked in the shoe factory throughout their adult lives, perhaps
juggling family responsibilities at the same time. Did women with
children continue their jobs at the shoe shop? Who took care of the
children? [Androscoggin Historical Society]
