EDITOR OF THE INQUIRER : – I wish to notify all whom it may concern, that on and after March 25, visitors will not be allowed to go through the workroom of the Piedmont Shoe Factory without paying an admission fee of fifty cents, and will not be allowed to exceed thirty minutes in going through same, which is ample time to see the workings of all the machinery. My reasons for making this a rule is not by any means a money-making scheme, but simply to keep the employees from being constantly annoyed. A person of reason understands, that when a man is working to do his best, and especially a beginner, and is aware of some one watching every movement, is liable to make false movements and damage valuable stock. This has occurred quite frequently. People cannot imagine the delay caused by visitors, and we hope they will understand this statement as it is meant.
GEO. H. KINGMAN, Prop’r A.G. WILLIAMS, Sup’t.
