Original June 6, 1929 Central Employment Bureau correspondence from Manchester, New Hampshire, sent to Miss Ann Bentley, 84 St. Botolph St., Boston, Massachusetts. The group includes the typed and signed letter, four unused employment/order forms, and the original mailed envelope.
The letter is on Central Employment Bureau letterhead, 951 Elm Street, Manchester, N.H., with Mrs. Lillian M. (Squire) Chamberlain identified as manager. Chamberlain tells Ann that she would be delighted to place her and any friends seeking work, explains that an interview is necessary, and asks Ann to have interested girls sign the enclosed orders and send them with the $3 office fee. She also writes that she deals only with “the best ones” and hopes to place Ann in a first-class hotel or summer resort.
The four unused forms are headed Central Employment Bureau and state “Payable From 1st Wages” and “Office Fee Payable From First Weeks Wages.” Each has spaces for the applicant\'s name, address, amount reserved for the agency fee, signature, and address.
Original envelope bears the Central Employment Bureau return address, a Manchester, N.H., June 7, 1929 postmark and 2-cent stamp, addressed to Miss Ann Bentley in Boston.
An interesting original group relating to women\'s employment, domestic/service work, hotel and summer resort hiring, employment agencies, and working women in the late 1920s.
