1965 Outlook for Bennington Industry Brightens in 1964 Review
Bennington area industry employed about 125 in automotive storage battery production and saw broad gains in 1964 with many firms expanding. Some plants shut or faced trouble, including Flint and Robbins and Sprague Electric Bennington plant, while others like Vermont Container, Bijur, Heald Plastics and Polygraphic Co. of America increased hiring. Labor disputes included a brief Cushman Co. walkout and a prolonged Shea Inc. strike resolved through the NLRB. Regular freight service returned on Vermont Railway Corp. lines, and BCIC funded a $1.5 million loan to Polygraphic Co. for expansion.
