Here we have an interesting and I imagine fairly scarce document. It is a Pay Statement for an employee of Avro Aircraft Limited (Canada) for a weeks worth of work in 1959. According to this statement this employee made $82.80 for a 40 hour work week, (that’s $2.07 an hour!). It also breaks down the tax and UI deductions. This was at a time when many companies still paid weekly cash wages and it states on the slip “Count Your Money Before Leaving Payline Area”. The slip does have some creasing and wear, but I think still displays nicely. I have scanned the front and back fairly large for you to be able to judge condition for yourself. It measures 5 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches approximately. I imagine most of these were eventually thrown away after TAX season. I doubt many have survived over the 60 years or so. Don’t miss out on this great document from the company that Produced the AVRO ARROW and the CF-100 amongst others.
I will be trying to list
several EARLY TRADE & TYPE CARDS over the next few days (spread across different
categories), including one or two that are unrecorded in any guide, that
were put given away with Tobacco, Cigarettes, Caramel, Candy, Gum, Chocolate,
Bread Coffee Tea Cereal and other products, covering such diverse subjects as
Native American Indians , Baseball , Football, Boy Scouts, Ice Hockey, Golf,
Presidents of the United States, NCAA and IVY League Colleges and Universities,
Dog Breeds and Circus themes and many many more. To view the other cards
I have up on ebay please click on the “View Sellers other Items” Icon
located on this page. It will take you directly to them.
Due to my work schedule and distance to the post office I am only able
to ship Monday Mornings. If I haven’t received
payment for an item by Sunday evening, the item will have to wait until
the next Monday to go out. Its unfortunate but unavoidable. If
this doesn’t work for you I respectfully ask that you do not bid or
buy. Thanks again.
This will be mailed from the USA.
Unfortunately Ebay’s Global Seller Program
does not allow for combined shipments on international order
