"Forty years is a long time in anyone's clife but it is particularly note -worthy when those forty years are spent in one plant, in fact in " one department of that plant.

The wages? oh yes, I remember them -- $1.25 and that's riot an hour that's a day! I'm making almost twice that in an hour sow," she reminisced. "The packaging was all done by hand in those days," Allie said,, -"We would fill the fine salt containers, seal and label them, all by hand. We even had to lick the labels."
