My great aunt left behind photos- which include a group photo of working women in the late 40’s or 50’s

I understand you may have old pictures of employees? If this is true Im interested in seeing if you may any of my father? His name was Willis Daniel Boone, “Dan? He worked with Acme Steel Company around 1940-1942. He was drafted into the service from the Company. I have a letter to him from Thorton A. Rand, Treasurer that’s dated April 14, 1944.
