(applied typed label) "H-124. Gaines McGlothin, R.F.D. #2, Kingsport,
Tennessee. McGlothin is here shown cutting index tabs in the process
of indexing a book. This is a medium-skilled operation, requiring
accuracy and care. Too deep or too shallow a cut would spoil a book.
Due to small overrun normally with any order, excessive spoilage means
increased costs. This man has been with the Kingsport Press two years,
and on this operation for the past month."
