Can anyone help with Herbert and Ethel's occupations please? I have a couple of ideas but would really appreciate some fresh eyes.

Many thanks in advance  ;D

Hi

It looks like Corset Finisher

Just had another look, and it may be Blouse Finisher, what are the occupations for the surrounding people

There's a word squeezed in between Blouse and Finisher - could be Skirt but more likely Shirt.

Agree with Beer Bottler
