i COMPANY offers 10 the Young
ladies aud girls of the surrounding
counties the opportunity OF securing
pleasant and profitable positions in

and would be pleased TO receive the
names of all DESTROYS of avsiling
themselves of such opportunity. Full
Information will be cheerfuliy fur.
ntshed, and inquiries VIII be prompt
ly answered.
Casually we mention a few facts here.
The Company is now having erected.
upon one OF the most beautiful sites
along the Rappahsnnock River. a
handsome two-story brick building,
capable of accommodating one.hun-
dred-andfisty machines. These ma
chimes are all operated by motor
power, doing away with all pedal
work incident TO family sewing
machine. The machine is started
and stopped by simple touch of a
lever, and the operator has no work
TO do other than to guide the mater
iai. Some of the machines are high
speed ones. making as many as $500
strokes minute, and affording an
operator OF average nimbleness with
her fingers a chance of doing an inn
mepse number OF pieces in a day.
Each operator makes only one GER
tain piece of garment, aud all work
is paid for according TO the number
OF pieces made, affording an active
girl the chance OF making n larger
salary than would ordinarily be paid
for days work. From five 10 ten
dollars week should be fair aver
N In ..,fll H..
make even more.
The Company, recognizing the fact that
at first, and until a more perfect ia
miliarltY with the machines Is &C
CURED, some girls will be unable TO
learn as rapidly as others, will, for
three months, guarantee that no en-
tire weeks earning shall be less than
two dollars, and in such cases where
1t does so happen will pay the oper-
ator that amount.
All modern conveniences will be found
in the building. and nothing will be
left undone that may be conducive
to the health, comfort aud pleasure
of every lady employed.
For the convenience of those boarding
in Urbanna who may desire to return
To their homes to spend their Sun
days, the factory will close early on
Saturdays and open later than usual
on Mondays. Transportation by
land or water can be readily and
cheaply obtained.
The business will he under the entire
charge of lady superintendent,
Mrs. Eva III. Converse, formerly of
Tappahannock, Va.
Messrs. Benedict Bros, OF Baltimore,
will send down several of their best
lady operators as instructors, and
those who are so fortunate as 10 re-
ceive the benefit of several weeks
instruction under these capable and
experienced ladies will be far better
htted TO earn more than those who
come In later. Another urgent
reason for commencing as soon as
the factory begins work, which will
be about November 1st, is the fact
that some OF the machines have
larger earning capacity than others,
and the first to come will get all the
plums-the best machines.
The Company has contracted for the
erection OF ten handsome and con-
venient cottages upon its property,
to be rented TO the families of the
operatives. Each cottage will be
expected to furnish not less than
two operatives TO the factory, either
from the family Of the tenant, or as
boardcis. A congenial party Of four
or five girls could rent cottage to-
gether, and thus render their ex-
pense much less.
Every effort will be made by the manage
ment TO secure only girls OF the best
character and to maintain the high
est moral standard.
