Oscar Mayer & Co. Sliced Bacon Department
Women preparing sliced bacon at the Oscar Mayer & Co. plant in Madison. At least fifteen women are working, most most of them wearing headscarves. Caption reads: "One of the most modern production lines at Oscar Mayer & Co. is in the Sliced Bacon Department. As the bacon sides pass through the high speed slicers they are weighed into one pound packages and packed for shipping. A great deal of care is exercised by the women in weighing and sorting bacon for the Yellow Band package." |
