Conversion. Hosiery factory. Her left hand knows what her right one is doing! Each is operating two looms: her right hand guides a loom which produces silk for women's stockings, while her left hand rests on one which is producing mosquito netting for American armed forces. At present this plant is forty percent converted from production of stockings to netting, but with additional orders more looms will be converted to this essential war production. Van Raalte Company
