We have all seen "Sale" ;igns like this in department ;tores. mill-end stores, etc. .Ve've seen advertisements in he newspapers, and heard hem over the radio, about ;econds, mill ends and irregulars. Quite often the sale prices )f many of these items are "idiculouslv low. In fact, they ire less than the cost for vhich a mill can actually nake them. To some people, ;ome of these bargains may De a real bargain, but they ;eldom are to anvone workng in the textile irdustrv as ,ve are. How do we figure this? It's /erv simple if we give just i few minute's thought to it. In 1952. the last year for vhich we have complete 'igures, the average textile nill in the United States nade a profit on its sales after taxes of only 2.8 per :ent we all will agree that 2.8 :>er cent is a mighty slim margin and it would be very easy :o dron down to onp nor rpnt )r to zero and from there into .he red ink. Seconds and )ther classifications of quality ivhich are not top quality :an eat into this 2.8 per cent figure terribly fast, if the quality of cloth from any mill begins to drop. We all share the loss when we make poor quality. In fact, our very jobs depend on production of the finest quality goods at the lowest cost possible consistent with quality cloth. This situation which involves our own job security is truer today than at many times in the past. The textile industry is in a "buyers1 marl/nf" - ~ ? 1.1U1 nvt iv/uav W'lllL'II IS JUSl one way of saying that customers now are in a position to demand top quality goods at a highly competitive price If they do not get this quality from one mill, they go elsewhere.

And we have to but look around a little and see that there is some curtailment and short-time going on right now among some of the mills in the Carolinas. How can we improve quality and production so that Clinton-Lydia Mills can maintain its position of leadership and reputation for quality textiles? It is simply a matter of each individual employee doing his utmost, every hour of each day, to reduce waste and spoilage. We can work more safely. We can have the right attitude lowards our jods and our fellow workers and supervisors. We can have better housekeeping within the mills. All of these things can add up to quality goods which means better job security for each of us. We all know the facts of good housekeeping. safety and elimination of waste. Let's practice them everyday AUV 1 in uui vsui j\ ctnu even wnen off the job. That will result in quality goods and better jobs when we are at work, and better life when off the job.
