period in the first two weeks of July The announce ment was made to the employees this week This means that the plant will be closed for a month The management of the plant issued the following statement todays The Davis Leather Co Ltd has an nounced that the company will remain shutdown for a further two weeks following the normal vacation period This action has been made necessary by an unusually severe seasonal slump affecting the entire leather industry on the continent This action follows earlier shutdowns which have taken place in other firms in the industry The company has been faced with the possibility of a shutdown for the past month or so as the usual season al slump gradually worsened and has made every effort to locate parttime employment for its employees should a shutdown be necessary Timeoff was granted so that employees could do some jobhunting during working hours While no reference was made to the causes beyond the worsening of the usual seasonal slump it is believed that the application of controls in the United Stales where much of the Davis output is sold and Is a source for some of its raw hides and he tightening of credit restrictions in Canada have alt contributed to the sit uation Veteran leather makers in the United States are quot ed as saying there has been no precedent for such a drop in business at this time Seasonal slumps are usual and expected said one but we have never had anything like this The Davis employees take their holidays during the first two weeks of July when the majority of industry in Newmarket closes down PAPER
