Carrie Anne Connally's photograph of collar makers probably shows Standard Manufacturing Co. (750 2nd Ave, between 120th and 121st St. in Lansingburgh, Troy) at its heyday in the 1920s. Matt Apple's Franco-American maternal great-grandmother worked here together with his maternal Irish-American great-grandmother, his paternal Dutch/German-American great-grandmother, and their Jewish-American and Eastern European-American neighbors - probably right around when the second generation's children intermarried between formerly separate ethnic groups (or maybe even because they all worked together, the matchmaking began...)
