1966- Clothing Manufacturing Facility to Re-Open in Onaway From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook March 31, 2016

  

  
CAPTION:  Plans were in the works to re-open a clothing manufacturing facility in Onaway following the closing
of the Northern Garment factory in January (1966). Ray Joseph, executive director of the Normandy Dress Company,
a Bay City firm with experience in the clothing manufacturing business, wanted to see if there was enough interest
from former employees before making a final decision on whether or not to locate a branch in Onaway.  Joseph
told Onaway Industrial Development Corporation president Tom Ellenberger (pointing in the photo) that if the
response of the former employees were satisfactory, he would put the plant back in operation by April 11 with
approximately 26 employees.  There was a front page bulletin announcing the meeting in the community room at
 Presque Isle Electric Cooperative.  In other Onaway News, Pvt. David S. Walker, son of Mr. and Mrs. Clyde M. 
Walof Millersburg, completed a clerical course at the Army Training Center, Fort Knox, Kentucky.
