Salem Workers
Used on Project
All the electricians, plumbers,
carpenters, painters, etc., who
have worked day and night for
several weeks readying the new
Sears store for its grand open
ing Thursday are local people.
Orville Lee, merchandise
presentation manager for the
northwest district, was the per
son responsible for the hiring
of local people in these jobs.
It has been the custom in the
Scars organization to bring in
Sears experts to prepare stores
for openings, but Lee, confident
that Salem people could get the
job done just as well, hired 260
local workers for the big task.
Lee says that Salem citizens
have been "very efficient and
very conscientious in their
work, and it is through their ef
forts that we are able to open
so soon."
