How New York Takes and (Cont'd, from Page 1) copy goes to the salesman for his record. Immediately after the order is typed, the girls who handle that end make out a small teletype slip and on it are the barest details of the transaction, giving the order number, the customer's name, the yardage, the delivery, and the price, and for those orders calling for immediate shipment also the shipping in structions and the routing Following this, the order is checked again to make sure that the typewritten copies are exactly in accordance with the original pencil written slip, and then the order goes to the salesman who made the sale and he signs the order and also checks it to make sure that what he is signing is what he sold, and then as a last check, I personally look at every order before it goes out to make sure that it is correct. The order then goes to the mail desk where it is separated and is mailed to the various parties involved. i eieiypewnter Wo have a teletypewriter machine, and one of our girls takes all of these little slips and types them on a perforated tape for transmission to the mill. She does this during the day as she gets them, and about three or threethirty she sends this message to the mill. This means that in the afternoon of each day the executives of the mills are constantly informed of the sales that are being made in this office and they have a written record, and the folks at the mills, from this record, are able to have the goods shipped and invoiced at once. This is the kind of service that our customers like. j : nJAL .A auu in duuuiuu iu ilia l vury often on the teletypewriter we put shipping instructions, changes of details, and various inquiries we may receive from prospective customers. I assume you know how the teletypewriter works, but for those who do not, I would explain that it is like a regular typewriter and is electrically connected to the telephone wires so that when we typewrite on it instantly the message appears on the teletypewriter that we have in Mr. Bailey's office in Clinton. There are dozens of other details that we do in this office, and all of this is designed to give the customers quick answers to their questions Mrirt oht?in miwrk- rr> plies when they need information. This service that is rendered by this office is costly, but it is one of the ways that we have educated the customers to know that when they do business with Clinton and Lvdia Cotton Mills they will get top quality goods and first class service. Many Calls During the course of a day, we will receive in this office anywhere from 100 to 200 telephone calls, and at the same time we will make at least that many local calls and quite a few long distance calls. I should have mentioned above, when talking about the teletypewriter, that our sales representatives in Boston. Chicago and Los Angeles also AUGUST IS. 1952 : Office idles Orders have these machines, so that communication between this office and our selling representatives is practically instantaneous. I hope you have found these articles interesting. To tell you all of the details of our business would almost fill a book, but what we have tried to do is to give you an idea of what we do here in New York and how we go about it. Of course, having spent many hours in the Clinton and Lvdia Mills, and in quite a few other mills, we have a pretty good idea of what you do at the mill, but knowing that not too many of you have the opportunity to come to New York to see our beautiful offices to visit with us, we thought you might enjoy leading about what we do. In conclusion, I want to say that we in New York thoroughly enjoy our relationship with you folks at Clinton and anxiously look forward to each and every visit we make I wish that everyone could be the recipient of the true Southern hospitality and the kindliness that is bestowed on us when we come to visit vou. In return I want to say that we always welcome a visit from any of the folks at Clinton, and only wish that more of you came more often. Our doors are always open and a hearty welcome is awaiting each and everyone of you should you find it possible to visit New York. We will do all in our power to make it pleasant for you and to make your visit a memorable one. Scout Cooper . . .
