Description
The Nine-Tenths by James Oppenheim is set in a bustling factory where young girls from the hat factory's loft building bring treats and goods to their colleagues. On windy autumn days, they dash back and forth between floors, laughing and chatting with the pressmen on the eighth floor. As the presses start up, the girls continue to visit the men, who smoke cigarettes and engage in lively conversation. Meanwhile, a careless heap of cotton waste lies unnoticed by the factory inspector, who takes it for granted that the pressmen will clean it up. Life at the hat factory is filled with energy and camaraderie, as the young women bring joy and refreshment to their colleagues on the ninth floor.
