Vacant packaging room at International Harvester's Hamilton Twine Mill, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Attached caption reads: "Mr. Yerkes: Mr. Loynachan Superintendent of the Twine Mill here does not want this picture to be used or shown in Chicago office as it shows bad house keeping. While this is a typical scene it could have been avoided but it was taken at noon time in a hurry and therefore we suggest that you destroy these photos. Duncan."
