Jasper County Democrat, Volume 11, Number 9, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 May 1908 — LARGE FORCE EMPLOYED. [ARTICLE]

LARGE FORCE EMPLOYED.

Sixty Men at Work on the Rock and Stone Road Work. A small army of men are now employed in making the public improvements in this city. Jesse Moore has 14 men at work drilling in the Iroquois channel, and W. F. Smith & Co. have 34 men working making stone streets, besides 12 teams hauling stone, a total of 60 men, and this does not employ all the labor in the city. Men who ask for work are more numerous, at this time, these contractors say, than at any other time in their history as employers of labor, which covers a 'period of many years.
