EMPLOYEES At THE CENTENNIAL.
A noticeable feature of The Clark Thread
Company has always been their thoughtful
and considerable attention to the welfare and
pleasure of their employees. The Centenni-
al Exhibition afforded an opportunity for
it's practical illustration which should not
pass unnoticed in this article. Desiring to
give all their operatives an opportunity to
witness the great Exhibition at Philadel-
phia of what the nation had accom- plished
during the first hundred years of its exist
ence in industry and art, the company
planned and carried to complete success a
monster excursion to Philadelphia, which
embraced their fifteen hundred employees,
with invited guests, members Of the press,
and the mayor and Common Council of the
City of Newark. Some idea of it's extent
may be gained when it is known that forty
five railroad coaches were employed for
their accommodation, and the cost for
transportation, admission, entertainment,
etc., exceeded six thousand dollars. But
this large sum is small compared with the
unalloyed pleasure which was afforded the
grand army of industrious people who find
employment at the Clark Thread Company
Works in Newark. The Common Council
passed and caused to be beautifully en-
crossed and presented to the Company, a
series Of resolutions from watch for lack of
space we copy only the following extract:
ResOlUed, That we witnessed with great salts fac
ton the kindness and attention shown by the Off
GERS of this Company to their fifteen hundred
working people and the evident good feeling that
exists between them; recognizing that when labor
and capital thus harmonic, prosperity must ensae
RESOLVED, That the location of the CLARK THREAD
COMPANY in our city. with their immense
works, and their army of operatives, has proved
vast benefit, and that Newark is and should be,
justly proud OF her manufactures which her
growth and prosperity must ever depend, and that
this municipality should foster and encourage by
every proper means their establishment and success.
Resolutions of thanks to the Company were also
passed by the employees.

were beaten by the celebrated Beaverwycks
of Albany, by only six seconds, the Beaver
wycks winning the championship Of the
world on the last day, the Newark boys OF
| the Clark Thread Company coming very
close to the championship of the world.
