Industry Seeks
Labor And Site
A labor survey is underway in
the City of Butler and surround
ing community to find available
labor for a new industry seeking
a place to locate. About 300
ladies were interviewed on
Saturday with some of these
experienced and others inex
perienced.
However a number are still
needed, according to City At
torney Charlie C. Stone and Ma-
or Alfonso McCrary. Both men
urged all ladies who are now
working elsewhere, but who
would relocate if the new in
dustry is successful, to come by
the city hall and fill out a card
for the new positions. This in
no ways will jeopardize the job
now held and will only show if
the available work source is
sufficient to support a garment
factory in Butler.
THESE CARDS MUST BE
SIGNED ON FRIDAY OF THIS
WEEK. THEY MUST BE MAIL
ED TO THE COMPANY DURING
THE WEEKEND SO THAT
THEIR DECISION MAY BE
MADE. If you are experienced
in garment factory work and
now working, please be sure to
get your card signed this week
end.
