Lunch in the works canteen

In a large hall, men in work jackets and suits sit shoulder to shoulder at long tables; in the foreground an older man in spectacles spoons soup from a white bowl beside a man with close-cropped hair, and at the counter at the back women serve from large pots. The source describes workmen and office employees going to the company canteen and the man eating. In the spring of 1948, before the currency reform, a hot meal at work was worth more to many than their wages.
