Pepperell Manufacturing Company employee magazine, 1929–1930
This is an employee magazine issued by the Pepperell Manufacturing Company, a Biddeford, Maine textile mill, during 1929 and 1930, compiled by the Biddeford Mills Museum for its workforce. The halftone photographs are informal snapshots of mill staff and their families, with captions in a chatty house style. A designer could draw on their candid, unposed mid-century portrait poses and plain outdoor street and factory-yard backdrops for period-accurate reference.
