It was dressmaking.  19 E. 34th in 1892, and W. 56th in 1920's. These
addresses may have been the location of the shop and/or residence of the
owners. Taken from city directories.

I wonder if I should look into ILGWU or something like that...
I also learned that there were some large labor strikes for garment workers
in NYC about 1909-1910. Maybe newspapers would have something about the shop
during that time frame.
