Scranton War Workers

Making submarine nets for Hazard Wire and Rope, during the war (unsure of the exact year).  The ladies were allowed to work just four hours a day due to the harsh conditions. My grandmother Veronica Turchin (nee Oroski) is front row, far left.

My grandmother said it was 'outside Scranton'. I guess that was her way of saying Wilkes-Barre. Thanks for the info.

Scranton or Wilkes-Barre?

Are you sure this is Scranton? The Hazard Manufacturing Company (a.k.a. Hazard Wire and Rope) was located in Wilkes-Barre.
