Vacation With Pay
Beginning July 2, the employees
)f the Caromount and Wilson
Divisions of Sidney Blumenthal
^ Co.. Inc. will start their annual
vacation. They receive one week’s
Vacation with pay in the summer
Old at Christmas time they are
^iven a bonus equal to an ad
ditional one week’s pay. This
plan provides the extra money
rtt Christmas; which is usually so
inuch needed, and it also offers
the employees an extra working
Heek during the summer.
This system was adopted after
areful consideration was given to
the idea of two weeks summer
Vacation and many other plans.
It has worked to the complete
Satisfaction of the employees of
the Caromount and Wilson Divis
ions who like it very much.
Vacation time has once again
t^olled around, and it is my sincere
'vish that you all enjoy the Holi
day. Be careful not to get “blist
ered” too much when you go fish-
big or to the beach. Go off and
^et rested so you can come back
prepared to resume your duties
tvith renewed vigor and purpose.
^Ve are looking forward to a very
busy fall season. •
