Plans for Walkersville Sewing Factory Opening
Twenty years ago plans were completed for opening a Walkersville sewing factory employing at least 125. It would use the former Robert Terry Garment Company building owned by Robert Nicodemus. Theodore Henson would be general manager. Two local men and families won a Bermuda cruise in a Home Mutual Life Insurance sales contest. Howard M Ambrose and Ceril B Pryor were among 13 Maryland and Pennsylvania winners. Frederick County Commissioners, Frederick City Aldermen, and Frederick Chamber of Commerce officials met at Francis Scott Key Hotel to discuss attracting new industry. They deemed new industry needed to broaden the tax base and considered a public meeting with top civic and business leaders to spur interest.
