What is this? Was Randolph the glove capital of something? There was a glove factory in Winchester too. If it had as many working for it as the UC one did, they must have made one heck of a lotta gloves!! The Winchester one was on North East Street and my gradmother worked there along in the 1920's I suppose.........phd -------------- Original message -------------- From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. > > Author: jetorres > Surnames: Lewis, Simons, Webster > Classification: queries > > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.northam.usa.states.indiana.counties.randol > ph/3297/mb.ashx > > Message Board Post: > > Hello, > > I have posted a picture taken in 1924 and short article about the Union City > Glove Factory, owned by Julius and Jack Lewis.
