This Day in History: 1955-05-02
The demand for tickets to the Avon Products Annual Open House Day was so great that another date had to be set, on May 9th. The Suffern firm, the largest cosmetics factory in the world, with nearly one thousand employees, encouraged the families of workers to visit the factory and see their relatives actually at work. Working hours for each of the days were set from 12:00 to 9:00PM so that family members who were not free during the day could attend. (Bristow)
