Francis Gallo, wife of Carmine Gallo and mother of donor, Ralph Gallo worked at this company which made fur collars. The donor does not recollect the name of the company, but characterized it as a "sweatshop." The second woman has not been identified. They are standing next to a Coca-Cola vending maching.
Although a garment manufacturer, the equipment behind them is a radial arm saw (set up for ripping) which is typically used for cutting wood plus its table and other work benches.
