Nell B > Status Update

More of 'Nellie Bly as a White Slave': Bly gets taken on at a paper-box factory on Elm Street. The first two weeks are unpaid - "It's all clear gain to the bosses," says Therese, the beginner beside her, and girls are often dismissed right after, on the plea they don't suit. Then $1.50 a week. Therese once worked a whole week at a fringe factory for 35 cents.
