Description
Full title:The supervisor in this exclusive custom dress shop in New York is explaining a fine point in the art of dressmaking to three assistants who relocated to New York from various relocation centers: (extreme left) Miss Toshiko Torii, Jerome; Miss Michiko Takahashi, Central Utah; and Miss Chiyo Sato, Tule Lake and Granada. Each of the evacuees is now making use of skills which she developed while working in California prior to evacuation. Miss Torii was a private dressmaker in Hanford and San Francisco, and later at Jerome taught sewing and drafting in adult education classes. Miss Takahashi was a power-machine operator for a sports manufacturing company in Los Angeles. At the time of evacuation Miss Sato was attending a designing school in San Francisco; later, at Tule Lake she was a sewing teacher in adult education classes. New York, New York.
