CLINTON-LYDIA MILLS VOL. 3. NO. 4 APRIL. 1954 Clinton. S. C. vyjaWKTiTiy/U VOL. 3. NO. 4 Waste Campaign ! i Attracts Interest In Both Plants The all-out campaign to reduce the large amount of waste produced annually at Clinton-Lydia Mills, as announced in the last issue of THE CLOTHMAKER, has attracted widespread interest and cooperation in both mills, according to A. C. Young, Jr., Director of the Standards Department of the mills. Several good suggestions for eliminating or greatly reducing waste on various jobs have been made by employees to their supervisors, says Mr. Young, and this shows that our entire organization is deeply interested in reducing costly waste. More than 3,800.000 pounds of non-reworkable waste are produced in our two mills t each year. This is an absolute loss to the mills of almost half a million dollars every twelve 4l t r * - ... mourns. ii sunsiantial savings in waste can be obtained in every department of both Clinton and Lydia Mills, it ] will mean an actual saving in 1 dollars and cents which will increase the job security of every employee in the mills. The message from President Bailey on Page Four of this issue of the paper shows another reason why we should be even more interested in eliminating waste. Not 1 only does waste decrease our competitive position when it < comes to selling our cloth, but it also opens the door even wider to the threat of foreign competition from lowwage countries manufacturing textiles.
