Illustrated Flushing and vicinity : College Point, Broadway-Flushing, Malba-on-the-Sound, Whitestone, Bayside, Douglaston, Little Neck in the third wa . sumlarger than that for any other section of Greater New York, based onpopulation. One reason is that labor conditions here are excellent; thatwages paid are fair; that strikes and lockouts are unknown, and thatworkers are satisfied both with home life and factory job. Typical ofthe College Point manufacturers-workingmens mutality of interest isthe record of the American Hard Rubber Company. This concern hasbeen established here over sixty years, employs over 1,000 and has neverhad a single strike or lockout. Some record! The big reason, besidesthe spirit of fairness shown by employers, is simply that the factorypeople of College Point have nice, comfortable homes, enjoy them, arecongenial, get along with their employers and with themselves, are well paid — in short, aresatisfied with their lot. There are few vacanthouses in College Point,or for that matter in anypart of the Flushing Dis-trict. Herein lies an op-portunity for the inves-tor or housebuilder. Ofcourse, owing to condi-. Dutch Reformed Churchand Sunday School tions resultant from theWar, building costs at themoment are comparative-ly high, but statistics forthis section of QueensBorough show steadyconstruction and increasesover previous years.
