All these I saw regularly at work during work hours in Richmond Spinning Mills. Tiny girl on left, five years old, is Goldie, who helps her sister, (the girl with hands on her shoulders). She is five years old. When I tried to get a photo of her at work at the machine, the Overseer said, "Don't put her in. A photo of that might get me into a lot of trouble." I said, "But she isn't working, she's only helping." All the same," he replied, "if they caught her in here, they might fine me a hundred dollars." Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee.
