Teresa Aguirre

Teresa Aguirre, 81, bends down to kiss the Singer 241-12 industrial sewing machine that she worked on for 22 years of her life Friday during the reception for an exhibition featuring Farah Manufacturing Co. at the El Paso Museum of History. Through her employment at Farah, Aguirre said, she was able to take care of her children’s needs while her husband handled the household expenses.
