Casually we mention few facts here
The Company Is now having erected
upon one OF the most beautiful sites
along the Rsppshannock River. Q
handsome two-stOry brick building,
| capable OF accommodating one-hun-
| dred.and-fifty machines. These ma
chimes are all operated by motor
| power, doing away with all pedal
work incident to a family sewing
| machine. The machine is started
and stopped by a simple touch of a
lever, and the operator has no work
to do other than to guide the mater
ial. Some OF the machines are high
speed ones, making as many as $500
strokes a minute, and affording an
operator of average nimbleness with
her fingers chance of doing an i'm
meuse 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, atfordiug an active
girl the chance of making a larger
salary than would ordinarily be paid
for days wors. From five TO ten
dollars week should be fair aver
age earning; some will be able TO
make even more.
The Company, recognizing the fact that
at first, and until more perfect IA
miliarlty with the machines is ac-
quired, some girls will be unable 10
learn as rapidly as others, VIII. 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 aud
cheaply obtained
The business will be under the entire
charge of lady superintendent
Mrs. Eva I'll. Converse, formerly OF
Tappahannock, Va.
Messrs. Benedict Bros. of baltimore
will send down several of their best
lady operators as instructors. and
those W hO are on NJ, -
ceive the benefit of several weeks
instruction under these capable and
experienced ladies will be far better
lifted TO earn more than those who
come In later. Another urgent
reason for commencing as soon ss
the factory begins work, which will
be about November 1st, lie the fact
that some of the machines have
larger earning capacity than others,
snd the first TO come will get all the
plrns--ths kNsa sAshlnss.
