Insurance for Cranston Worsted Mills Employees
Last September the mill arranged group life insurance for workers with six months’ service or more, the company paying all costs. Policies arrived Wednesday and were distributed yesterday. The second policy belonged to Bessie Young, who died Sunday, so she did not receive it. Young’s son George of New Orleans will receive $1,000 as beneficiary. The plan also includes District Nurse services at no cost.
