A New Haven Railroad dining car employee serves Thanksgiving dinner to a passenger.<\/p><\/div>\n

The employee magazine, or “house organ,” for such large businesses as the New Haven Railroad and the Southern New England Telephone Company, allowed\u00a0company employees a means to communicate,\u00a0to find out about recent happenings with the company, and to share such information as recent marriages, births, retirements, and deaths involving other workers.\u00a0 At Thanksgiving time, as we see from the employee magazines for the railroad (on the left) and SNET (below) which are held in the archives, the magazines show how the employees enjoyed the feasts of the season.\u00a0 We see a New Haven Railroad dining car employee serve a passenger (well, probably not a real passenger, probaby a model posing as a passenger or employee) her Thanksgiving dinner, and an employee in the New London office cafeteria\u00a0is served turkey.\u00a0<\/div>\n
This latter photo had the following caption:\u00a0 “Susan Reidy can hardly wait to get back to a table in New London Cafeteria to down this delicious turkey dinner.\u00a0 Bird was cooked by Catherine Tooker (carving), while Cafeteria Supervisor Mildred Berg looks on.<\/div>\n
