Vintage Postcard: General Electric Company, Schenectady, N.Y.
My paternal grandparents Rosaire Theriault and Yvonne Leger moved to New York in 1924 in search of work to support their growing family. My grandmother eventually found a job at the massive General Electric Company in Schenectady, New York. This plant provided a great living for many Quebeckers and New Brunswickers at a time when good jobs were scarce in Canada.
