Bantam, Connecticut. A bale of kapok a week is the normal consumption of the Warren McArthur upholstery shop. Here Harold Curran is loosening fresh kapok from the bale. The filler machine into whose funnel he drops the kapok blows it into the bag behind him. Curran, whose main outside interest is amatuer theatricals, studied for a year at Manhattan College, then worked for B. Altman and Bloomingdale's, large department stores in New York City. He also traveled for some months for the U.S. Department of Agriculture
