Talk:Magnus Harmonica Corporation

Magnus Organ Corporation, Linden NJ
The Magnus Organ Corporation was founded by Gene Tracey who was CEO of the company through the '60's. He retired and sold the company to an entrepreneur from Long Island who's primary business was playground equipment. After unsuccessfully running the business for about two years and trying to introduce a line of musical instruments including banjos, the company was sold to the owners of World Book Encyclopedia. Although the company's main business was table top and console reed organs, they had an enormous library of organ sheet music to which they owned the publishing and distribution rights. World Book was primarily interested in these rights and closed the company not long after the acquisition. By 1975 the once thriving business was gone. At it's peak, the facility was comprised of five interconnected buildings and employed over 1800 employees during the peak holiday production season. It was a pioneer in the area of flexible work hours, initiating a "mother's shift" which ran from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm weekdays during the peak production season from September to November. Magnus was a unionized facility affiliated with Teamsters Local #97 based in Newark. It was also the first employer to establish a Work Release Program with nearby Rahway State Prison which allowed non-violent inmates to earn money six months prior to their release to assist their families and ease their transition back into society. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Debb Wel (talk • contribs) 21:01, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
