New Ad
Campaign
Tells Story
The initial phase of an aggressive longterm
advertising campaign signaling a new
"Made in U.S.A." label on domestically produced
apparel and home furnishings was
launched on November 26, 1984. The campaign,
projected to cost initially about $10
million, is funded by the Crafted with Pride
in the U.S.A. Council, Inc.
Roger Milliken, chairman of Spartanburg
based Milliken & Company, who serves as
chairman of the Crafted with Pride in the
U.S.A. Council, stated that the council is a
unified force of American cotton producers,
labor and manufacturers of man-made fibers,
fabric, apparel and home fashions,
who are working to promote merchandise
made in the U.S. Textile leader involvement
with the council is driven by a belief that
these interdependent groups must maintain
their market position.
The severity of the import challenge has
caused the different groups to unite for the
first time. Textile retail sectors employs 2.2
million people in markets that exceed $100
billion of America's gross national product.
According to industry sources, the council's
campaign is keyed to recently enacted
congressional legislation, effective Decern
I ber 24, 1984, which requires all apparel
and home fashions manufactured in this
country to carry a "Made in U.S.A." label.
The ads will promote the "Made in
U.S.A." label as an indication of American
quality, style and value with such attention'
getting headlines as, "She'll be looking for
^ US in her blouse," and "He'll be looking for
US in his slacks." The initial ad series will
stress the business advantage of sourcing
goods in the U.S., including better delivery,
easier reorders and shorter lead time in spe
nfvino stvle. color and size. The ads will run
in 11 major retail trade publications, daily
newspapers and national weekly news maga
zines targeted toward retailers, business and
consumer audiences.
Clinton Mills employees are encouraged
to watch the printed media for these adver
?'sements as they begin appearing.
