EMPLOYEES AT THE CENTENNIAL.
A noticeable feature of The Clprk Thread
Company has always been their thought
ful and considerate attention to the welfare
and pleasure OF their employees. The Cen
tennial Exhibition afforded an opportunity
for its practical illustration which should
not pass unnoticed in this article. Desir-
ing to give all their operatives an oppor-
tunity to witness the great Exhibition at
Philadelphia Of what the nation had ac-
complish'd during the first hundred years
of its existence in industry and art, the
company planned and carried to complete
success monster excursion to Phila-
delphia, which embraced their fifteen
hundred employees, with invited guests,
members of the press and the mayor
and Common Council of the City of New
ark. Some idea of its extent may be gained
when it is known that forty-five railroad
coaches were employed for their accommo-
dation, and the cost for transportation, ad-
mission, 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 New
ark. The Common Council passed and
caused to be beautifully engrossed and pre-
sented to the Company, series of .resolu-
tions from which for lack of space we, copy
only the following extracts
RESOLVED, That we witnessed with great satstac-
tion the kindness and attention shown by the off,
GERS of this Company to their fifteen hundred work.

COMPANY in our city, with their immense works,
and their army of operatives, has proved a vast

proud OF her manufactures ON which her growth

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.
