These pages from the Vandercook [Employee] Handbook No. 2 (ca. 1949) shows that the company provided good benefits. This copy belonged to David D. Vandercook.

The described benefits were quite generous for the time.
Very interesting. I never thought about the Vandercook company as union or non-union. This document and the recruitment flyer suggest they were on the better end of employment situations, but non-union (no bug!).
