Mr. Adrian M. Mantee
Director of Personnel
Blackwell Manufacturing Company
Plattsburg, IN 47401
Dear Mr. Mantee:
In the March issue Of What's New in Manufacturing. I read your advertisement seeking supervisory personnel for your multimillion-dollar plant expansion program:. Please consider this letter as my application for a supervisory position in Quality Control. Presently I am Assistant Supervisor of QualityControl at Barron Enterprises, Engineering Division. My work here is pleasant and I enjoy it, but my wife and I want to move back to Indiana because of the failing health of our parents, who live here.
The enclosed resume gives a brief outline or my training and experience. From my earliest job while a sophomore in high
school. I have liked working with machines of any kind. This keen interest developed by my formal education and experience in various aspects of mechanical technology, has given me a background that should be of immense value to a supervisor. I will be happy to supply any additional information concerning my background or present employment. My immediate supervisor here at Barron Enterprises is aware that I am looking for a supervisory position with a company in the Midwest and why I am doing so. I would Iike to have an interview with you and although distance is an important factor. I would be glad to fly out at your convenience if I had at least a week's notice.
Sincerely,
Thomas D. Davis
