 William Nicon
 William Nicoll holds the disttnc- ton of being the oldest employee in years of service at the Waterbury Manufacturing plant, being in the service of the Company since July 6, 1879. Although Bill was taken rather seriously i'll a few years back he gave proof to his fellow employees that the adage you can't keep 6 god man down." still holds true.
 Even today in the shipping room, MT. Nicoll sees to 1t that our Chase products get to their destination and is now only waiting for the day when he can mark the shipping tickets For Berlin" or For Tokyo"
 MT. Nicoll's enviable record that he has complied in his sixty three years of service certainly should be an inspiration to all our workers in all Chase plants.
 Andrew Anderson
 Andrew Anderson started work ing for the Waterbury Manufactur- ing Company on November IS, 1889, as buffer. He was later promoted to foreman of the buffer room, position which he still holds.
 Mfr. Anderson for forty y-four years possessed the amazing record of not having missed a days work because of illness or accidents. In 1882 an attack of pneumonia kept him out of work for a short period of time but today Andrew is back at his old job lending his talented efforts in this all out production drive for victory.
 Soon to enter his 1ifty-third year of service with the Waterbury Manufacturing Comuany, Andrew is highly regarded by his associates as a dependable and honest man. When an individual Is pointed out by his fellow worker as having these ster- ling qualities nothing more need be added.
 Anna Barrett
 Anna Barrett, the oldest woman employee in The Waterbury Manu- featuring plant started work for The Chase Brass & Copper Com- pany, Incorporated, on October 18. l806, as . press operator. Annie" as she is affectionately called by the thousands of employees at the fact ory plant, continued at this work during World War I when she operated large press that turned out shells that helped up defeat our enemies of that time. And though she doesn't operate a press at the present, her cheery smile and wise words of encouragement spur the factory workers on to greater pro- duction.
 Annie refused to go into retire ment several years ago and demand ed that she be allowed to return to work. This request was granted and today all factory employees look forward to seeing Annie on her daily tours of the factory departments. Mrs. Barrett is shinging example to girls and women of this genera tion, not only because of her ex- cellent service record but also for the wonderful spirit of faithfulneSs and loyalty that she has displayed throughout her career with The Chase Brass @ Copper Company.
 On October 10, 1912, Anna Barrett will celebrate her 56th anniversary of employment and all Chase Com- pany employees hope that she will 1 be with them for several more years |
