Women in industry. Gas mask production.

Flower in hair, Betty Gumbetter adds glamour to the assembly line of a Midwest gas mask factory which formerly made vacuum cleaners. Operating a riveting press, which attaches cloth tabs to the face pieces of gas masks, this young worker is one of the many company employees who switched over from work on vacuums when the plant was converted. Betty likes her new job better than the old one. "It bears a lot more relationship to my American Women's Voluntary Services work," she says. Eureka Vacuum, Detroit, Michigan
