Photograph of workers working at drawing frames in the Laconia Division of the Pepperell Manufacturing Company. Coiled "slivers" from cans were passed through pairs of steel rolls which attenuated the six slivers into one. The resulting single sliver was then coiled into a can at the front of the drawing frame.
This collection of Laconia Mills photos was discovered in the attic of 116 North Street in Saco, ME by Arthur Morrow. Real estate records show that Ernest L. Morrill, agent of the Pepperell Manufacturing Company lived at the house.Dimensions
