EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment in history during World War II. The image showcases two dedicated Navy wives, Eva Herzberg and Elve Burnham, working diligently at Baxter Laboratories in Glenview, Illinois. It is 1942, and the women are assembling bands for blood transfusion bottles as part of their contribution to the war effort. The atmosphere inside the factory is bustling with activity as workers like Eva and Elve play a crucial role on the homefront. Dressed in their uniforms, they epitomize the strength and resilience of American women during this challenging time. Photographed by Howard Hollem, this snapshot not only documents their important work but also highlights the intelligence and skill of these unidentified women workers. Their dedication to manufacturing vital supplies for medical purposes demonstrates their commitment to supporting those serving on the front lines.

This image serves as a tribute to all those hardworking individuals who contributed selflessly towards victory while embodying patriotism and unity within our nation.
