- Description
- This 1923 pamphlet was created in order to attract workers to Paris in order to work for the Penmans Limited knitting mill. At this time, Penmans advertised and recruited widely in order to attract workers, primarily, women, from Canada and from Great Britain, whom they would bring to Paris in order to work at the mill. The pamphlet extols the virtues of Paris as a place to live, and details the working conditions that workers could expect at that time. From its wording, it is clear that this pamphlet is specifically targeting women. It includes a number of photos of the town and of the knitting mill.
