1953/05/04: Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk (3.101889)
Date: May 4 1953Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to Clarence E. Godshalk. He requests some ideas for other uses of the former library in the Thornhill Building, rather than the "somewhat funereal, museum-like aspect of it and put it to active use." Mrs. Zurcher will join in the discussion. "The addition to the Redwood Building is most suitable." Morton Salt Company vacation policy is two weeks after 1 year, and 3 weeks after 15 years. You can adopt this policy, or even 3 weeks after 12 years.
