Finally, finished socks would go to one of two locations. Some of the products would go to the sample room to be prepared for salesmen. A sample of the product would be attached to information cards with details about the cost and the product. The rest of the products would go to the section of the factory dedicated to completing orders. Women would pick the socks on the incoming order and then bundle them together, to be sent to retailers or salesmen.

Van Buskirk explains the work she did in the Holeproof Hosiery factory offices.
