GOLDEN HISTORY MOMENT
81 Years Ago
This is going to be a busy summer with everybody working on defense projects. Farmers will be busy all the daylight hours in their fields and orchards and with their stock; factory and plant workers at their benches and machines; rock and clay men will be putting in long hours in pits, cuts, grades, and tunnels.
Colorado Transcript – April 30, 1942
After more than a decade of economic Depression, World War II brought a sudden surge of full employment. Food and raw materials were needed for the war and munitions plants provided millions of well-paid factory jobs. Suddenly, everyone had money–but no time to spend it.
The April 30, 1942 Colorado Transcript reported that Golden’s stores would be open on Friday nights throughout the summer, “for the convenience of workers.”
There are employed in and near Golden hundreds of workers whose duties require them to be on the job all day, all through the week. These people have repeatedly urged that some arrangement be made so that they can cash their checks and make their purchases in the evening.
It is in response to this demand that the stores mentioned above are cooperating with the Golden Chamber to give these workers every assistance possible and in this way contribute their part to the “all out” defense program.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
