Evidence of a prosperous year is seen on all sides. That 1925 will outstrip the old year in business there is not the slightest doubt. The textile situation is looking good over the entire county. Mr. J.E. Wilkinson, who recently took charge of the Forest City Hosiery Mill, informs us that a 10 per cent increase in wages were given the employees December 29th. They have 65 employees working full time now, turning out full product. The company expects to add more workmen to its personnel soon, bringing the total up to about 75 or 80 employees.
From the front page of the Forest City Courier, Thursday, Jan. 8, 1925.
