The classified ad in the Dayton newspaper sought someone for “Plain sewing.” Young Ida Holdgreve, an accomplished seamstress, figured she could do the job. She applied and was hired. However, the ad in the Dayton newspaper had a spelling error. “Plain” sewing should have read “plane” sewing. Twenty-nine year old Ida Holdgreve had applied for, and gotten, a job as head seamstress at the Wright Brothers Airplane Factory.
