The last war, however, saw the community growing by leaps and bounds. With this growth came the need for expansion in business to keep pace with the larger number of people seeking employment. Far sighted business men saw this and realized the wisdom of providing work for a com­ munity destined to continue expanding. Among these was the Admiral corporation, one of the largest radio manufac­ turers in the country. Officials purchased the former Kaiser- Fraser building on Elm street and went into production January 1948. A total of 125 employees, mostly women, now work each day in cheerful, healthful surroundings.
