A member of your community has passed its 50th year
during 1944.
The A.C. Lawrence Leather Co. is having its 50th birthday.
But ... in none of its plants . . . has there been any pause
for celebration. Its 3000 employees realize the importance
of their war work . . . and the great necessity of providing
essential materials for civilian life. They let each day's work
be recognition enough of having reached their 50th year
of service.
A Community Enterprise
Yet A. C. Lawrence itself realizes that, to the communi
ties in which it has plants, this occasion is significant. For,
in such towns, are persons who, themselves, have watched
the company develop from its earliest beginnings.
And there are young men who, knowing the
company to be strong and vigorous, have laid
their course in its direction.
So, to each town, Lawrence is ? immunity
enterprise". . . of vital importance to the citizens
who earn their livelihood from the tanneries and offices . . .
to the families who are benefiting from the pensions of
former employees who have retired . . . and to the mer
chants who know how great is the responsibility of this
company in keeping the community prosperous.
Its War Work
The various tanneries of the A. C. Lawrence Leather Co.
...normally manufacturing leather for shoes, garments, lug
gage, gloves, chamois, transmission belting . . . during the
war have been devoting much of their production facilities
to leather for Army and Navy boots and shoes, aviators'
flying suits and gloves, crash helmets, goggles, chin straps,
belts, holsters, bomb sight cases, signal equipment cases,
dispatch cases, rigging for ships among the 500
items in military use that are made of leather.
Each of the members of this great A. C.
Lawrence family is proud that the family's 50th
year could be devoted in such great extent to
the country's service.
