Kansas City, Mo.
July 14, ‘37
As an employee of the Donnelly Gar Co., I, Opal Stufflebean, am satisfied in every respect, regarding the working conditions of the factory.
Our wages is higher than any other organization in the “Middle West.”
My guarantee of $25.60 per week, of 40 hours, and a paid vacation once a year is very satisfactory to me.
The amount of “overtime, we work, entirely depends on the employee, we work all, “Over time”, on our own accord. No one compels us to work over 40 hrs. a week of 5 days.
So I am pleased with wages, hours, and all other conditions of the plant.
