Morris, New York

From The Daily Star, Feb 14, 1976.

The H. W. Naylor Co. of Morris, manufacturers of veterinary medicines, celebrates its fiftieth anniversary in 1976. Located on Main Street in the Otsego County village, the company now produces more than 600 miles of dilators annually - each one
of which are an inch in length. Shown working at Naylor are, from left, Alfretta Thayer, Irene Springett, Marjorie Fuller, Bessie Cobb, Arlyn Wade, Anne Morton, Chloe Laubmeier and Marie Strait.
