EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES

Evidence that Park was a thriving community is in the number of employment agencies there have been over the years. Some of them include:

Walker II Employment Service, which employed “Walker Girls” (as opposed to the Kelly agency’s “Kelly Girls.”) In 1968, the agency was located in the Colonial Office Building at 4725 Excelsior Blvd.

Lakes Employment was located variously in the McBee Building and, in 1969, at 4300 Excelsior Blvd.

Placement Service, Inc. promised to be the "Door to your future" in 1970.  See below, but remember that the Women's Movement was still two years away.

Associated Staffing was located in the Citizens Bank building at 5050 Excelsior Blvd. in the 1970’s and ‘80’s.
