All such items had to be weighed, measured, and/or packaged - a tedious and time consuming task. Albert Noonan , accountant for Harold (1933-1953), was one of Harold's most valued employees. Some others were: Jean Pate (stenographer), Lottie Johnson , Thelma (MacNevin) Dumville, Annie (Carruthers) Harris, Ruth (Noonan) Saunders, Winfred Brooks , George Campbell , Sanford Phillips , Jr., Verna (Phillips) Vatcher, Jean (Kennedy) Stetson, Ray Noonan , Alfred Dignan , Elma Ellis , Dot (O'Brien) Jelley.
