I am a widow who started working for the Donnelly Garment Co. fifteen years ago at the time I was (48) years of age. I am now 63 years of age and have worked for the Company without a break for 15 years aside from the fine working conditions and nurses care, Sanitary plant ets this work has enabled me to educate two sons one in Dentrstry [dentistry] and one in Pharmacy. It has also enabled me to for ten years support my aged mother and furnished us with a respectable living thru these years my respect for Mrs. Reed and what she has done for us has never waned. Now after 15 years I feel younger and better than I did 15 years ago and sencerely [sincerely] hope this Position with the Company will endure for many years to come.
Yours Sincearly
Minnie Allen
