SOROSIS RUNS ANNEX FOR 
ITS WOMEN EMPLOYEES 
Hundreds Use Unique Club House for Rest 
and Soctability 
As the outcome of America’s enor- 
mous industrialism, where immense 
aggregations of feminine workers fol- 
low, necessarily, the product of the 
great labor-saving inventions, comes 
the problem of a proper and suitable 
social surrounding for the girls and 
women, and especially those whose 
home life is far removed from their 
places of business. 
One of the most conspicuous exam- 
ples of the manner in which this 
enormous social problem has_ been 
successfully handled, with an energy 
and acumen typical of the American 
manufacturer, is the establishment of 
the Sorosis Annex by the Sorosis Shoe 
company of Lynn, Mass., one of the 
largest and most prominent business. 
houses in the country. 
The Annex is a club, a resting place, 
a home for leisure hours for the many 
hundreds of women employed by Alex- 
ander E. Little & Co. in their Lynn 
factories, where entertaining and in- 
structive lectures and classes in dress- 
making, millinery and embroidery will 
create not only a healthier atmosphere, 
but offer unusual opportunity for the 
self-advancement of the members. 
That the club might not appear in 
the light of a philanthropic movement 
it has been placed on a sort of self- 
supporting basis, the members paying 
a nominal fee of 5 cents a week, while 
in the beautifully appointed dining 
room a luncheon is served at its exact 
cost. 
The club house was originally a 
massive colonial mansion, and has 
been remodeled at an immense cost 
by the company, and a glimpse into 
its spacious rooms is a revelation in 
their model modern artistic simplicity. 
The whole project is unusual in its 
conception and arrangement, and has 
served to extend the pleasant relations 
that exist between the firm and those 
faithful women employees who aid 
them by their application and industry. 
This wonderful work by A. E. Little 
& Co., known throughout the business 
world for their genius for organization 
and power of execution, and the great 
good they have accomplished, should 
serve to give a wider meaning and a 
more extensive familiarity tothe name 
Sorosis.
