Question

Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire

Where did Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, the owners of the Triangle Shirtwaist Company, arrive in America, and how had they transformed their lives and social status?

Answer 1

In 1913, Harris and Blanck moved the Triangle Shirtwaist Company to a bigger location on West 23rd Street. In March of that year, the two men reached a settlement with the victims' families in which the factory owners paid out a week's worth of wages for each worker.
