  • Description
  • Dining rooms at the H.J. Heinz Company were provided for the use of the employees. The girls’ dining room was a large bright room adorned with about one hundred paintings and drawings that hung on the walls, artistic furnishings, a piano, an organ, and books and magazines. Each “girl” had a place assigned to her in the Girls’ Dining Room. While the “girls” ate, they could be entertained by music played on the Orphenion, a large boxlike instrument imported from Germany, or by one of the “girls” on the piano. The fifteen or twenty forewomen ate at their own table in a corner of the room.
