BOSTON, Mass.--Mrs. Alvan T. Fuller, wife of the Governor of the Bay State, entered the ranks of the garment workers of Boston long enough yesterday morning to sew the first Prosanis label on a Boston made garment. She took her needle in hand in the dress shop of Saul F. Matthews Co. and then at the coat shop of Carnicelli and Collins, and attached the new sanitary labels to garments just completed. Her action was the signal for thousands of needle workers in Boston to start sewing Prosanis labels on their products. Photo shows Mrs. Fuller at sewing machine. 5/8/26. [Caption with picture.]

BOSTON, Mass.--Mrs. Alvan T. Fuller, wife of the Governor of the Bay State, entered the ranks of the garment workers of Boston long enough yesterday morning to sew the first Prosanis label on a Boston made garment. This little ceremony marked the adoption by the Joint Board of Sanitary Control of New England of the new label. The label shows that the factory wherein the garment is made had complied with the hygienic measures recommended by representatives of the public, the employers, and the workers sitting jointly. Photo shows Mrs. Fuller sitting among the workers and sewing on label by hand. On her left are Anne Antewe and Rosie Angee. 5/8/26.

Scope and Contents:
Postcard of six Africans posing by a Singer sewing machine. Caption on verso reads: "Zululand. This is a fertile, well-watered country of South Africa, on the Indian Ocean, and forms a part of the region known as Kaffraria. The native Zulus are a fine warlike people of the Bantu stock, speaking the Bantu language. This language extends over more than half of Africa and is one of great beauty and flexibility. The Zulu bids fair to be as forward in civilization as he has been in war. Our group represents the Zulus after less than a century of civilization. Worth wins everywhere. Our agent at Cape Town supplies both European and Native inhabitants of Zululand, the Transvaal, and Free Orange State with thousands of Singer Machines. The Singer Manufacturing Co."
