| Pearl Turner (left) and Viola Turner (right), Gastonia, North Carolina, 1908, photo by Lewis Hine |
Spinners. Smallest girl - Pearlie Turner, 408 East Long Ave. Been at
it 3 years and runs six and seven sides. Her Sister (largest girl) runs only four sides. I found other cases where youngest
sister did much more work than oldest and family stimulated her by praising her speed and the other's slowness. Location:
Gastonia, North Carolina.

daughters, Sara and Rachel. I interviewed both daughters, and the wife of Sara's son, who provided this photo. Rachel is the
girl in front, Sara is standing behind her, Frank is on the left and Pearl is on the right. More information will be
