Globe Knitting Works is featured in this installment of "Western
Michigan at Work" hosted by Dr. Willis Dunbar. Dunbar gives a history of
the company, which was started by Norwegian immigrant E.A. Clemmons in
1897, and describes the process by which garments are made at Globe
Knitting. Edgar Charles, one of the knitters, describes his duties and
the working conditions while Jane Radich, who works in the cutting
department, explains how the cutters shape and form the knitted fabric
into garments.
