Women at work!
The Janus factory in #Arna has been producing clothing articles since 1895, mostly woolen socks and underwear, flame-retardant underclothes for the industry sector, but also nylon stockings.
At its height in 1966, some years after this picture, it employed 600 people. Janus are still running in 2025 as the last Norwegian textile production facility of its kind.
Apart from their normals sales to shops, they have been delivering warm underwear to NATO the past decades. In the pandemic, they also reworked their factory lines to produce woolen cloth masks.
