experiencing all the difficulties of
that life. They depend entirely up-
on their own salary for all their
living expenses, and it may often be
a question of how to get the next
pair of shoes or finding money for
the dentist. About twice a week, the
women meet in seminar with the in-
dustrial secretary who generally has
secured some labor leader or social
service worker to talk with them.
They relate the conditions they find
and discuss problems with which
they come in contact.
Some of the women work under
good conditions and find employers
kind and interested, while others find
just the opposite. It is part of the
plan to make friends with the women
already in the shon and gain their
viewpoint. By the end of a summer
in this work, the temporary shop
hands have gained a fairly compre-
hensive idea of the life of a factory
girl and have had a new experience
themselves.

GOTHAM COMPANY
INCREASES- PLANT
The Gotham Silk Hosiery Co.
has acquired the -plant of Oscar
Nebel, which occupies a block
of ground 223 x 500 feet in
Philadelphia, with a four-story
fire proof building housing one
of the best equipped hosiery
plants in this country.
The transaction by which
this plant changed owners in-
volved a cash consideration of
much over $1,000:,000, and cov-
ered the transfer of both real
estate and equipment, etc. It
was put through in order to
enable the Gotham concern to
adequately handle its rapidly
growing business, and it is
claimed, makes that company
the largest manufacturer of
trademarked full fashioned hos-
iery in the world.
The company is also plan-
ning to build a new annex to
its New' York finishing plant
and to add a number of knit-
ting machines to the Philadel-
phia factory.
QUALITY AND VALUE
are quickly recognized. The
American woman has made
Gotham successful beyond its
wildest dreams. Gotham in turn
has given the American woman
quality and value unobtainable
elsewhere. The appreciation is
mutual.
