THE Milford shirt factory is still over
run with orders aud the management is
pushing things to their fullest capacity
Eighty people are working hard in the
factory every day and until nine o'clock
at night three nights in the week. In
addition to this force thirty women are
given all the employment they want al
home making shirts. These take the
work ready cut out and return it sewed
complete The busiest place In Milford
is this factory aud the prospects are
bright indeed for continuance Of the
rush as orders are piling in faster than
they can be accepted A half dozen
more factories like this one would make
things lively for every woman in town
who desired to work. Why will not the
moneved men OF the town invest part
of their wealth in running a factory OF
some kind where men could also be given
permanent and constant employment.
The man or men who will take the hint
aud do this thing will deserve the graft
lude Of the whole town and community
A factory employing a hundred men
would be a direct blessing truly to the
laboring classes and indirectly a blessing
to the whale community, looking at it in
a financial wav. We will be pleased in
deed to honor the man or men who will
invest money in such way. Let us hear
from you. gentlemen Of wealth.
