1966 - Great Lakes Manufacturing Company Moving Toward Re-Opening Clothing Factory in Onaway and Onaway Pays Tribute to Grace Pregitzer From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook May 5, 2016

  
CAPTION: Great Lakes Manufacturing Company was moving rapidly toward re-opening of the old Northern Garment
factory plant and resumption of the manufacturing of clothing, thereby providing employment eventually for
up to 100 persons.  Tom Ellenberger, president of Onaway Industrial Development, said that two local ladies
were enlisted by the firm to contact former garment workers and arrange interviews.  Sewing machines were
expected to start arriving.  All applications turned into the Onaway News and to Ellenberger were to be given
to the company.  In other Onaway News, as a tribute to Grace Pregitzer being named Michigan's Mother of the Year, 
the Onaway Area Chamber of Commerce was placing 150 large placards in business establishments throughout
the area to recognize the high honor.
