A staff photo taken outside the Roslyn Mills clothing factory in January 1940 to commemorate the factory’s contribution to the Finnish War. Roslyn Mills, as with other large New Zealand textile manufacturers and clothing factories, had built their business and reputation on high quality workwear and fair employment practices. If anything, the workers strove to deliver even higher quality clothing for the soldiers of Finland – the end result was that the uniforms and coats from New Zealand were of extremely high standard and much sought after.
