The PREMIUM Shirt Is.
HAS A LARGE CONTRACT

Mr.. Lopez, OF the Premium Shirt
Company Of Milford, Delaware, has re-
Gently landed very large contract for
shirts which will require at least 100 to
$50 girls steady ali the year round.
This factory is doubtless one If not
the largest factory in the State OF Del
aware and is thoroughly equipped for
the manufacturing Of shirts In every
detail, the cutting making and laundry
work being done here at this factory.
For years this industry hiss been
about the only permanent and constant
one in Milford, and during the years
past has given employment to ali
women who care to work and to many
men, and has been OF untold benefit to
the town. Now under it's new man
agement and the increased facilities
for working, it is something Of which
Milford should be justly proud.
The output from this factory is sold
throughout the United States and the
shirts made at this factory have a Ter-
utRtiOn OF being the best shirts now on
the market and are especially noted
for the workmanship.
This new contract will require the
large number Of operators named above
and girls and women from the adjacent
towns will be able to find profitable
employment here and can secure board
at reasonable rates. 1t would seem
that the women through this section
should make an effort to accept this
opportunity and keep the work here in
our midst, as it will be necessary for
Mr.. Lopez to ship the work to outside
factories II the help can not be found
in Milford and the adjacent towns and
country.
The factory will begin its operation
on full time on October the first, so you
have time to make your applications
and get steady work in this factory
for the entire year at good prices.
