Papers Available If You Miss Yours Occasionally those who deliver the monthly issues of The Clothmaker to houses in the two villages accidentally miss a house or two. Should this happen to you. you may get a copy at the Lydia office or the Pert sonnel office at Clinton Mills. Every effort is made to cover each house and duplex, but sometimes the youngsters slip up. Just , bear with us and pick your copy up if you're missed. A k Lydia plant included activities for few of the youngest "scrambling for for all. HE CLOTHMAKEI ., k t MX'! By W. P. Burdette A town or city with a high elevation is to be commended. In ancient days and even in the founding of this country, people usually sought a high spot and there located their town. Clinton seems to have forgotten that it has such a claim. Why don't we revive the slogan we once used, "The highest point on the Seaboard" (between Hamlet and Atlanta). * * * One of Clinton's oldest families is uniquely represented in the local National Guard battery ? the Meadors. This family has in the unit 5 cousins of which there are 2 brothers and a father with his son. Noncoms are 2 sergeants. 2 corporals and only one rookie. Such loyalty deserves recognition. * * * Folks who just "spiel" on and on might profit bv reading (and taking heed of) this card on some of the bulletin boards: "To those who talk and talk This Proverb should appeal: The steam that blows the whistle Will never turn a wheel." * * * Over in Laurens thev were planning a practice "atomic bomb attack" but some good lady phoned in and protested that it wasn't right to kill off a lot of innocent people just for practice! Methods oi. . . (Cont'd, from Pago 2) mails, newspapers, magazines, etc. We advertise in those periodicals which we believe our customers regularly read, and in that way we keep our name constantly before the customers. At the same time we try to impress them with the fact that we make a high quality product and also give very good service. In my next and concluding article of this series, I will detail for you some of the interesting office work that occurs after an order has been taken, and also further explain how the service that we give the customers reflects itself in building lasting triendsihps and helps our business in many ways. It is these friendships that keep many customers on our books year in and year out, but of course I do not mean that they only buy our goods because they like the way we sell them, but the combination of the service that we give and good quality cloth is what brings them back again and again. icj \ h AN OUTSTANDING PROJE has just been completed with the curtains at Academy Street Scho sented by President J.
