Clinton Mills management personnel
heard American Textile Manufacturing Institute
president Jim Martin outline the industry's
struggle against foreign imports during
the Laurens County Shrine Club's Industrial
Appreciation Night June 5.
An overflow crowd heard Clinton Mills
Chairman Robert M. Vance introduce Martin
as a successful textile leader who built TiCaro
into a textile yarn producing giant.
"I hope each one of you here tonight will
get into the habit of looking for the 'Made In
USA' label in garments before we buy
them," Martin said. "We need to tell store
owners that we would like to see them carry
more American-made goods."
Martin promoted the Crafted With Pride
campaign that Clinton Mills and other textile
companies have created to fight the import
battle. If everyone spent an additional $20
more on American-made clothing annually,
100,000 new jobs would be created.
"Last year, the jobs of thousands of textile

add over 700,000 new jobs," he continued.
"We are an important basic industry?
second only to defense in terms of our national
defense."
The current program being conducted by
the textile industry to promote Americanmade
goods is a bona fide commitment to
help the industry survive and grow. "The
industry is currently working with Congress
to require American-made items to be clearly
identified."
"We are a fighting industry," he said.
"Textile people are fighting for their jobs,
their families, and we will win."
A native of Laurens County. Martin
praised the work of the local Shrine Club in
its support of crippled and burned children.
After his talk, Laurens mayor Bob Dorm
nick presented him a key to the city and
some momentos from the county's recent
jubilee.

Clinton Mills Controller Walter A. Sigman's
contribution to Frank C. Wilson's new
book, "Managing Costs and Improving Cash
Flow," are recognized in the acknowledgement
section of the 26>ipage publication.
Sigman, Clinton controller for the past 19
years, developed a close relationship with
the author, lecturer and international con
sultant Frank Wilson while attending one of
his many seminrs on cost accounting. Wilson
is president of International Management
of Gainesville, Ga.
"In the seminar, an assignment was given
from a book by Wilson that had been in print
for about 10 years. After studying the book, I
noticed numerous items that should have
been corrected by the editors and proofreaders
prior to publication and called them to
the author's attention," Sigman said.
"Some months ago, Wilson contacted me
to review the manuscript for his current book
which was to be released this year. I made

the final copy," stated Sigman. "Most of my
suggestions were aimed at clarifying points

Sigman, regarded by his associates as a
critical reader, attributes his "critical eye"
for reviewing copy partly to the training
gained while working as a research assistant
and proofreader on two books written by professors
while he was a student at the University
of South Carolina and always looking for
things "that don't look just right," as a former
auditor and public accountant.
A certified public accountant, Sigman has
high regard for the book's value as an aid to
accountants, financia1 managers, and
accounting professors.
