S. Lieboitz & Sons, whose main office is 75 Leonard Street, New York, and who have a factory employing 150 hands in Pottstown and factories in many other Pennsylvania towns are anxious to establish factories in Bristol if at least fifty operators can be secured. The firm manufactures shirts, underwear, and pajamas.

Charles Green, the firm’s representative, will have a line of the factory products at Mr. Wilson’s office this evening and explain the work to those desiring employment.

Girls in this firm’s factories average from $10 to $12 per week wages.
