Kissel War Workers
Image
Workers leaving the Kissell Motor Car Company have their identification badges checked. The Hartford company was then building trucks of the Four Wheel Drive Company of Clintonville for the Army. Women worked in the Kissel factory during the war, but it is not clear if the women in this photograph are workers or simply present to greet the workers.
