Mary Smith, who worked as a knocker upper for a sixpence a week. She would go around and wake up the workers with a pea shooter to the window.

Magnificent looking woman, if you ask me.

 

[HBS Guy]

That the Mary Smith of Granny Smith apple fame?

She would go around and wake up the workers with a pea shooter to the window.

I love these old photos. I even scroll through old photo albums on the odd occasion that I find one whilst trawling through markets etc. It doesn't matter that I don't know who they are.

Yeah. People would be employed to go tap on the windows of workers to wake them up for work. They were called knocker uppers. Some used a long pole, the truly skilled, like Mary, used a pea shooter.
