If they do buy goods from mills making poorer qualities, they demand a discount and pay a lower price. When business is bad our customers feel it is the best policy to buy goods from top quality mills so they will not have to gamble on quality complaints from their customers. You can understand from this that in times like these, good mills are able to continue running and do not have to sell their goods at a price under the market. We have good mills and are making good cloth now. We won't be satisfied, however, and we don't believe you will until our mills are among the best and making cloth second to none. To try to build our riualitv as ViinVi as possible is especially important today. The matter of making good quality cloth certainly is not a one way street. Both the mill company and its employees have special responsibilities; but when we work together on our common problems it never fails to bring about results which are good for everyone involved. In the next two issues of "The Clothmaker," we will tell you about our Quality Control System and what the comoanv is trvine to do in this direction.
