Re: Hiring - northern Chicago suburbs

Where is your shop located?

Could one live just across the board in Wisconsin and still be within the 20 miles?

The state line is just a mile or so over twenty miles due north on the tollway, which passes within earshot of their shop.

Not sure how stringent Mr. Helmke is about the request to live 20 miles or less. I would hope that dependability in an employee would win out over a mile or two.

Best regards,

John
