During World War II, the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill contracted with the government to supply blankets for the U.S. Army. To fulfill these contracts and prevent sabotage, the mill documented their workers from 1941-1945. As seen in the example above, the cards recorded basic information such as name, address, physical description, as well as a set of fingerprints. These cards are an important part of the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill record collection, M3 1966-001.
