/ Work Plentiful
If there is a man in Milton or
vicinity out of work these days it
I is because of disability or laziness.
/ Every manufacturing plant in the
town is working at full capacity
and employing more men and wo-
men than usual, and some are in
need of more helpers. Farmers are
rushed and are giving employment
to all who want it. It is indeed a
busy time for Milton and Broad
kiln Hundred.
