The Waverly Independent-Republican reported on 2 Apr 1920 that the Waterloo Skirt & Garment corporation gave a banquet to the employees of the Waverly branch. The banquet was served in the work room of the plant. Emma Homan McFarlane is in the photo toward the rear. According to one news item, the women were paid quite well. However they did have some periodic down time.
