              <text>78 year old Elide LaFond, widow of Mitchell LaFond, is shown hand-tying mesh netting for the Carron Net Company, Two Rivers. Mrs. LaFond was one of many Two Rivers residents who worked in their homes tying camouflage nets and other nets to help the company keep up with its war orders. Carron produced camouflage nets, aerial cargo drop nets, barrage balloon nets, and sports nets for troop recreation. This photograph was originally published as part of a photo feature on the Carron firm in the Milwaukee Journal, February 27, 1944.</text>
