Karen, very interesting! My mom & her sisters worked in the knitting mills in Fall River back then - my mom's job was making the thread loops for the hooks on dresses, she showed us how to "knit" a strand of thread into a chain when we were kids. LOL, haven't thought about that for years, I'll bet I can still do it! She also tied those pretty bows on the finished dresses that were so popular back then.

I've always liked those Rosie ads, funny how she became an icon & didn't know it! She comes from wonderful generation of people that knew what it meant to band together for a cause. God bless them all.
