Description
Advertisement seeking two hundred "negro mechanics and laborers" to work at the foundry in Selma, Alabama; board, clothing, and medical service will be provided. The ad also asks for fifteen men to work on a steamboat on the Alabama River, and it offers an incentive to slave holders to contribute their slaves: "Those hiring negroes here will have the remainder of their hands exempt from impressment, provided the number employed amounts to their assessed quota."
