I had a look through the online archive of the Hoboken Historical Museum to see if I could find anything related to Guild’s time in the area. I couldn’t find anything on there with a direct link, but I did turn up a document that I really liked, and thought I’d share it. This old factory regulations sign is from the R. Neumann building where Guild was based at Observer Highway and Newark St.

Interesting!
I bet they would change their tune a bit in the current work climate. More like 'please come to work". Lol. Mills could be a very humbling work experience. But you could work there for your whole life if you stuck it out. Whole generation s did. Loud, dusty, smell of ozone and oil soaked wood floors.

Designated smoking areas! Ahead of their time!

Excessive use of washrooms during work - sounds like an Amazon rule.
"TO AVOID WASTE OF TIME" - all caps!
Clearly, no internet yet!

Wasn't Neuman a leather factory? Not sure what sort of chemicals they used to process the product, but would bet some of them were pretty flamable.
