Unionwear Factory in 1903

Unionwear has found a drawing of our Newark building, probably done from a hot air balloon, in 1902. The building looks almost identical, but now we are adjacent to the Newark City Subway line, and every plot of land for miles is fully developed. The company that occupied our factory in 1902 manufactured parts for the cotton gin. Prior to construction, during the Civil War, this property was the Union Army Training Grounds.  Unionwear turns 32 this year, but we have used the image to show how we might have advertised 125 years ago.
