Description: Type & Size: A 8x10 original Type 1 (original negatives) photograph. Condition: All photos are in good to excellent condition for their age, unless otherwise outlined here. Photos of any major imperfections will be included. In this photograph, viewers are presented with a bustling scene from a bottling plant where workers are engaged in the process of filling glass bottles. The focus is primarily on a woman in the foreground, dressed in a white shirt, who is carefully handling bottles with a machine that appears to be used for filling or capping. In the background, another female worker is seen, also involved in the bottling process. The setting is indicative of industrial activity, particularly within the context of manufacturing in the early 20th century. The bottling industry experienced significant growth during the early 1900s. This period marked the rise of various beverage companies, especially those producing soft drinks, which became increasingly popular. The use of assembly lines and mechanical aids, as depicted in this image, transformed how products were filled and packaged, leading to greater efficiency and volume. Notably, the Brown Brothers photographers were known for documenting industrial advancements, and this photograph highlights the role of women in the workforce during an era when they began to assume roles traditionally held by men, especially during World War I. Present in the photograph are the words "Bottling Plant," attributed to the Brown Brothers. This provides a clear identification of the setting depicted in the image. Other text on the back includes "CREDIT BROWN BROTHERS STERLING, PA 1862 LOANED FOR ONE USE ONLY," acknowledging the source of the image and indicating it has historical significance linked to its origin. === This is a photo from a collection of New York City Factory Machinery and Industry photos from the 1910s to 1930s, with most of them in the 1920s.
