AYEIY IEALEI WANTED: RELIABLE HELP! HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE WAR EFFORT We are printing below a letter which we have distributed among our employees which speaks for itself. We will appreciate aid not only from our employees but also from the residents of this neighborhood to help us get the people we need: To the Employees of the Hallmark Manufacturing Corporation You have undoubtedly heard that within the next couple of weeks we will be making shirts again for the Army. The need for shirts is very great, as you can see by the fact that the Army is ordering about twelve million shirts and every shirt factory in the industry is being required „ to help make these shirts, delivery of which must be made.within three months. We will need and can use an indefinite number of reliable workers to help with these Army shirts and to continue in our employ on civilian shirts afterwards. I am asking all of our employees to contact friends and relatives who may be interested in coming to work. If you know any who are experi enced operators on short making, we can use such people very well; others whd are not experienced we can use, between the ages of 18 and 35. We particularly need people who can be depended upon to come to work regularly and stick to the job until they have learned their operation. Any help that you can give us in this connection will be important in helping the Army get the shirts that it needs and in helping you also in order that we may keetf Jthe factory running efficiently, and it will, of course, help us. We will appreciate anything that our employees do in this connection. - f Workers will be hired in accordance with regulations of the War Manpower Commission. Applications may be made either at the factory or at the United States Employment office, Clinton, 8. C. Hallmark Shirt Corp. E. B. GINSBURG, Supt.
