Description

Several children are doffing in the Cherryville Mfg. Co in 1908. These boys and girls, as young as 5, started their day working instead of attending school. Many had no shoes and very old clothes to wear. In 1904, only 2 states limited child factory workers from working more than 8 hours a day!
