Title A name given to the resource In Case of Strikes--Everyone Loses! Description An account of the resource Advertisement from Perry's Chamber of Commerce warns that a strike at the Perry Knitting Co. will disrupt economic stability for the entire town. At the time of this advertisement, the CIO was successfully unionizing Elam Shoe Co. and the Quality Wood Heel Co. in Rochester, and "continued growth in number of Perry Knitting Mills workers who have signed with the plant CIO unit" (Rochester Democrat & Chronicle 4 April 1937: 21). The company probably was alarmed at momentum in this direction, and undertook at least two tactics. One was to make visible employee support for a non-union shop, leading to a Loyalty Parade two months later. The other was to widen the scope of influence, arguing that economic disruptions--however bad they were in large cities--were "infinitely worse" in a small town like Perry. "The affect EVERY CITIZEN," warns the Chamber of Commerce. Thus, labor issues at the plant are shown to intertwine with an entire community.

Title A name given to the resource George M. Traber on Women Cutters Description An account of the resource Letter to Local Board #571 of the Selective Service System shows the President of Perry Knitting Co. attempting to secure as many deferments for his (male) employees as possible. In this case, he argues that women in the Cutting Room lack the strength to handle a full 40 lb. batch in a single cut, and the resulting half-batches slow down production 50%. Traber also argues there is not enough room to locate the additional workers to compensate. Not a Rosie the Riveter moment. Although this document is not dated, its typewriter style and contemporary newspaper accounts suggest it was composed during World War II.

Title A name given to the resource Open House For Nitey Nite Description An account of the resource Large advertisement for the Perry Knitting Co.'s open house of May 27, 1953 promises lots of information and "guided tours through 21 operating departments." In the meantime, the flyer mentions some striking statistics: <ul> <li>That a year's supply of cotton to produce Nitey Nites requires more than 8,000 acres of land;</li> <li>That the thread used to stitch a year's production would wrap around the earth 26 times;</li> <li>That a year's production of sleepers, laid end to end, would reach from Perry to Colorado;</li> <li>That stacking a year's production of Nitey Nites would reach into earth's stratosphere.</li> </ul> Quite an impressive accomplishment, and this is even before visiting the PKC factory.
