Typed letter on General Electric stationery:

Ft. Wayne, September 25, 1943

Mr. W.K. Williams
Bldg 4-6

The accompanying copy of “Punch In, Susie!” is presented to you with the compliments of the General Electric Company. Written in an honest and straightforward manner, it gives an interesting picture of the reactions of a newcomer in our organization.

The author, Nell Giles, is a staff writer on the “Boston Globe” who took a “job” at our West Lynn plant for the sole purpose of “writing the glamour our of women in war.” Her day-to-day experiences while at work in our plant were published in Miss Giles’ column in the “Globe” and attracted the attention of thousands of readers.

It is an a musing story, but despite its humor it contains a wealth of material that should prove to be of considerable value in enabling us better to understand the reactions and problems confronting our arm of new employees.

LC Swager
Personnel Division
Bldg. 18-2

Found in “Punch In, Susie” by Nell Giles. Published by Harper and Brother, 1943.
