A.C. Gilbert Co. 21st Annual Service Dinner Menu - 1963          

You can thank Ed Carr for this fabulous piece of Gilbert history.  This is actually a lot more than just a dinner menu as this event was limited to Gilbert employees who had worked for the company at least 10 years.  The event was held in March of 1963, so even the least senior of these employees had been working for Gilbert since 1953 and as you can see, there were a lot of them who had worked there a lot longer.  Therefore, this provides an index of probably the most significant Gilbert employees. 

Also, this was a pretty fancy affair, judging from the menu and the description of the entertainment.   A relic of a past time where employees had a degree of loyalty to the company they worked for and the company tried to show them they appreciated that loyalty.
