A black and white photograph on grey mat of four men and three women posing in the cutting room of the Lang Shirt Co.'s cutting room in Kitchener, Ontario.
The room is large with a wooden floor, white painted walls, ceiling, and electric light bulbs hanging from the ceiling over tables.
Three long wooden tables for rolling out fabric and wooden patterns hanging from ceiling can be seen. Table fitted with metal rails along each side and heavy metal weights on some fabric are visible.
This enterprise was known as the Lang Shirt Company Limited from 1918 to 1928. Previously, it was the Hagen Shirt & Collar Company Limited. After 1928, the name was changed to Miller-Lang Shirt Company Limited based on information derived from the KW Vernon's directories.
Ernest Denton was a photographer in Berlin/Kitchener from approximately 1912 to 1955. He operated photography studios at various locations in the city. He worked with another photographer in a studio named "Denton & Gifford" between 1924-1925.
This photo is slightly faded, otherwise good, glued to grey mat board.
