1. The Octombrie Rosu (formerly Cehoslovaca) Clothing Factory in Bucharest
produces women's and children's ready made clothing for sale in the state
shops. The factory is located at 100 Strada Berzei, and the warehouse for
materials and finished clothing is at 19 Strada Berzei.
2. The factory has 1,500 workers, 900 of whom are women, working in two shifts.
Equipment consists of a large number of electric sewing machines and six
electric buttonhole machines. Six thousand meters of material are used per
day, from which about 2,000 dresses are made.
3. The 1950 balance sheet showed a loss of 8 million lei, and a state inquiry
was held in 1951 to determine the responsibility for this.
4. The factory formerly manufactured men's civilian clothing, but in late 1949
this department, with its 200 workers and their sewing machines, was trans-
ferred to the Gheorghiu Dej (formerly Apaca) factory. The Gheorghiu Dej
factory produces mostly uniforms and other military clothing and employs
about 7,000 workers. At the time of the transfer of the Octombrie Rosu
department a new wing was constructed for the factory. There is a plan to
concentrate all the ready made clothing factories in Bucharest in the Gheorghiu
Dej enterprise.
