Transcript
Having been an employee of the Donnelly Garment Company for four years, I feel am quite capable of expressing my true opinion about the Company and my Employer, Mrs. Reed.
We have always had better working conditions, better hours and far higher wages than any Garment Factory in the City. I feel we could not find a better Employer than Mrs. Reed any where in Greater Kansas City or elsewhere. I have always earned a good living, all the year round and I wish to continue working with Donnelly’s in the future, without the interference of any outside Union.
