Housekeeping at United Nations Headquarters
Caption Description
The UN employs plumbers, painters, carpenters, machine repairmen, upholsterers, electricians, locksmiths and gardeners, all of whom have a share in the housekeeping operation. The five upholsterers replace worn or cigarette-burned furniture coverings and broken legs and arms of chairs. Carpeting, which stretches after a time and becomes wrinkled, has to be replaced, extra yardage of carpeting being stored for this very purpose. In this shop, too, old desks, chairs and tables were bought at “junk” prices from UNRRA have been “cannibalized”, producing presentable “new” furniture for the Headquarters.
This picture shows a sofa in process of rejuvenation.
