GRI G SB Y-GRUN OW TO EMPLOY 7000 IN REFRIGERATION BUSINESS
The following is, in part, a statement issued by the Grigsby-Grunow Company with regard to their refrigeration business:
"Not satisfied with having made Chicago the *Hub of the Radio Universe1 with their sensational activities of 1928 and 1929 when they created plants that turned out quality radio receivers at the rate of 6500 daily, B. J. Grigsby and W. C. Grunow have now definitely brought Chicago a large slice of the electrical refriger¬ ation industry, and bid fair in a short time to be turning out more Majestic food preservation units daily than any similar enter¬ prise in the world.
"Just a year ago this month, ground was first broken for this new venture and the full force of the dynamic energy of these two men has been driving completion of the new plants at 8. rate unheard of in industrial circles. By April of this year they had fifteen acres of floor space completed by October, over 1500 machines are in plane, and production is on at a whirl-wind pace.
"It makes Majestic Refrigerators in the two most purchased sizes, at prices $100 to $200 cheaper than they have been heretofore.
"The radio plants can turn out 6500 chassis, speakers and cabinets daily; the new factories can produce 4000 refrigerator chassis and all-steel cabinets, much larger units than radios, every 24 hours.
"Both radio and refrigerator production is divided among two groups of factories. On Armitage Avenue in Chicago are the buildings in which radio chassis are made, while right behind it rise the huge three-s tori' plants in which refrigerator chassis are built, perhaps a mile away, on Dickens Avenue, six blocks of radio cabinet plant greet the eye, while continuing along this same street is the new refrigerator cabinet works over 1000 feet along.
,fTraining a vast new army of refrigerator workers is the sole remaining problem before ¥. C. Grunow and his highly capable staff of foremen. It is estimated that Majestic Household Utilities Corporation will require more than 7000 employees for refrigerator production, while Grigsby-Grunow at normal production uses over 13,000 people."
