Title A name given to the resource Fly-Over Walkway on Water Street Description An account of the resource A two-story fly-over walkway bridges Water Street and connects Mill No. 1 and Mill No. 5. Annotations from the late 1940s or early '50s tell a story about the open door, seen to the left. At that door, factory 'seconds', or slightly defective Nitey-Nites, were sold for fifty cents a piece by one Mr. McWithey, a fellow known for wearing "large diamond rings on several fingers." Pictured in the lower right is a Buick Roadmaster Sedanette. Another story is told by George Traber, Jr. in the "Perry Knitting Company News" feature in the Perry Herald (<a href="http://perrypubliclibrary.advantage-preservation.com/viewer/?i=f&by=1955&bdd=1950&d=01011950-12311959&e=perry%20knitting%20company%20news&m=between&ord=e1&fn=perry_herald_usa_new_york_perry_19550526_english_8&df=1&dt=10" target="_blank" rel="noopener">26 May 1955: 8</a>), where the photo appeared. It was taken, we're told, at 2:00 pm during a busy day of work at the factory. Why no cars? Thanks to safety plan designed to minimize automotive traffic during hours of heavy foot traffic, employees still only walk three minutes to a parking lot and prevent potential accidents. Traber writes that, if employees were truthful with themselves, they would have said "It sure was a wonder that someone hasn't been killed, especially when the noon and 5:00 rush was on."

Title A name given to the resource Draft Board Letter, 1918 Description An account of the resource This appears to be a notarized copy of a letter by Perry Knitting Co. President George M. Trabor,Sr. on behalf of an employee named Albert Torrey. Torrey is identified as the chief engineer and electrician of the plant, and Trabor is arguing for a deferral on the grounds that Torrey's work is essential to the war effort in Europe. This was a fairly common practice, multiplied many fold during World War II. Among the interesting facts we learn about PKC in 1918 are that it employs "upwards of nine hundred operatives"; that Torrey runs a power plant of 1200 horsepower; that PKC supplies 30% of the US Army's undershirts, to the tune of 2,000-3,000 dozen per week; and that the plant has "been put on a priority basis by the War Industries Board."
