Just as an FYI, from wikipedia:
Cluett Peabody & Company, Inc. once headquartered in Troy, New York, was a longtime manufacturer of shirts, detachable shirt cuffs and collars, and related apparel. It is best known for its Arrow brand collars and shirts and the related Arrow Collar Man advertisements (1905–1931). It dates, with a different name, from the mid-nineteenth century and was absorbed by Westpoint Pepperell in the 1980s. The Arrow name is still licensed to brand men's shirts and ties.
The company manufactured shirts and collars in a historic building at 123 First Street in Leominster, Massachusetts.
The building was constructed in 1902 and added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
I have no idea what happened - did she break her leg/hip at work, hence the joke? Obviously she was at home for quite a while recuperating.
And who is 'we' she refers to? I know her mother, Nellie Jane, was living with her. Were sister Margaret and husband Myron living with her, as well? It seems she has moved with her mother to Bronxville by November of 1968.
I'm afraid I don't recall where I took these Cluett Peabody & Co. photos - I can't seem to recreate my search to give them credit. Oops. Could have been wikipedia or could have been the Rensselaer County Historical Society.
