Excerpt:
“You see them at their typewriters, filing cabinets, telephones—girls with bandaged arms.
Day after day, a bandage in a fresh spot. Beneath those bandages, gauze soaked with soap. If the soap irritates the skin, a mark appears. A simple test, truly, but an important safeguard of the health and beauty of American women.”
