EMPLOYEES AT II CENTENNIAL.
A noticeable feature of the Clark Thread
Company has always been their thoughtful
and considerate attention TO the welfare and
pleasure of their employees. The Centen.
NAL 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 Philadelphia
of what the nation had accomplished during
the first hundred years Of its existence min.
dustry and art, the company planned and
carried to complete success a monster eKcnr-
sisn 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 he gained when
il is known that fOrty-6ve railroad coaches
we're employed for their accommodation,and
the cost for transportation, admission enter
tainment. etc, exceeded six thousand dol
lars. But this large sum is small compared
with the unalloyed pleasure which was af.
forded 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
engrassed and presented to the company, a
series of resolution from which for lack Of
space we copy only the following extract:
Res. iced, That we witness with great satisfaction
the kindness and attention shown by the officers NJ
this company 70 their fifteen hundred working peo'
pie and the evid ont coed feeling that exist between

Ivy must ever depend, and that this municipality
