NOVESille a. inn 5 SUM It SlialMISSMIllis was MS 2MS I Key word missing from factory story An article which appeared in conjunction with the Council Briefs of November 21, 1990, contained a serious typing error. The Seaforth Springs factory has closed, but unhappily. Unlike the quote which appeared in the article, which said he has "never been impressed", Tony Wallbank was extremely impressed by the Town of Seaforth and its inhabitants. The key word of "so" was missing from the phrase. "We're really not happy about closing down," Mr. Wallbank added last week. "Everyone's been en- thusiastic, and it's too bad the economy is in such a poor state of affairs." The Springs factory had employed just under 20 people, 11 or 12 of them on a full time basis. Six of those workers have taken full time employment with the company's Plattsville operation. The Springs Factory building, formerly the Genesco Shoe Factory, is again up for sale.
