They wear the uniforms of the Edinburgh trams and the New York City subway and trolley guards, with pride and purpose

The daily round in the Erie Railroad workshops
In the well-lighted factory of the Briggs and Stratton Company, Milwaukee, the girls are comfortably and becomingly garbed for work
The women of the Motor Corps of the National League for Woman's Service refuting the traditions that women have neither strength nor endurance
