Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Cost of Clean Clothes in Terms of Health: A Study of Laundries and Laundry Workers in New York City
In New York City, where the laundry business is larger and more important than in any other city in the country, little has been known of this aspect of the industry. The studies of the trade which have been made have placed almost exclusive emphasis on the danger to the customer through the improper handling of clothing and linen, and on the best ways to guard against infection. Processes of work have been de scribed; unsanitary conditions, and practices dangerous to the public health have been pointed out. No close study has been made of the individual workers and of the relation of their working life to life outside the laundry.
