Full title:Niseis and Caucasians work together in a spirit of splendid cooperation at Brand and Puritz Garment Company located at 819 Broadway, manufacturers of ladies' ready-to-wear coats and suits. Nish Kumagai is shown in the foreground ticketing coats ready for shipment. Next in line is Mrs. Ann Cohen and Miss Sally Nadel, both of who are Caucasian girls employed by the firm. Last in the line is Miss Kasuko Kadokoro. Nish Kumagai may be remembered by some as the same party who last year experienced the ordeal of passing through attempted procedures to oust him and his wife from their home located at 4410 Campbell Street. It may also be remembered, that because of extremely favorable newspaper publicity the couple were vindicated and fortunately made numerous friends as a result. Needless to say they are still living in the same apartment and are enjoying life at its best in Kansas City, Mo. The Niseis are from Tule Lake Center. Kansas City, Missouri.
