Men Unloading Sisal Fiber at IH Twine Mill
Image
Three factory workers unload bundles of sisal fiber (fibre) from a train at an International Harvester twine mill. A note with the companion photo to this image reads: "Unloading fiber at an International Harvester twine mill from various parts of the world -- from Mexico, Cuba, Africa, Brazil, Haiti, the Philippine Islands, Central America, and elsewhere. This variety of sources provides fibers to produce the proper blends required to make baler and binder value to the IH quality standard."
