Assembled from lists and records found in
the FBI documents, the jobs and workers listed in the Small Shops department
are in this pdf file:
. Small Shops Department Jobs and
Personnel Listing
Peoples Temple businesses in Jonestown
fell under the responsibility of two departments: II. Business &
Industry and X. Small Shops. The distinction is not clearly
specified but it appears that Business & Industry has to do with
business external to the Temple; whereas Small Shops has to do with business
internal to Temple, though some of the businesses developed were planned for
eventual commercial sales.

The Graphics Shop made all the signs for
Jonestown, at the entrance, over the podium, on buildings, etc.
Some of the shops such as shoe repair and
Typewriter/Watch Repair sometimes took in work from outside Jonestown.
The soap factory was looked to as a vital
project. In Guyana there was no soap manufacture, so all soap in the country
had to be imported. Jonestown hoped to develop soap manufacture as a
money-making enterprise.
