THE CLOTHMAKER Miss Gladys, or Most people think of Cross Anchor as being just a few miles from Clinton, which it is, yet Miss Gladys Wilson has traveled this road over the I past 32 years the equivalent of riding around the world more than 12 times. As the faithful and efficient secretary to President Bailey of Clinton and Lydia Mills, ! Miss Wilson has six times each 1 week traveled the 30-mile round trip between Cross An' chor and the executive offices 1 at Clinton Cotton Mills. This figures out to a total of 293,760 miles. The circumference oi tne eartn at tne equator is about 24,000 miles, which means Miss Wilson has traveled the same distance as 12 ? times around the world. Miss Wilson makes the daily trip with her brother, Roy Wilson, who is employed at the Lvdia Mills Stores. Miss Wilson was Secretary for many years to the late Mr. W. J. Bailey. Upon his death, she assumed the same duties with our present President when he was elected President. Actually Miss Wilson has been employed with the mills for 34 years, but two of the years she boarded in Clinton and did not go back and forth between here and Cross Anchor. Even though the road was not paved for many years, she has never been late except one time when a flood de[ stroyed the bridge and she had to detour around by Lau, rens. It is probable that Miss Wil[ son developed this fine attendance and on-time record from her early school days ; when she never missed a day and was never tardy. Miss Gladys, as she is popularly known in the ClintonT 1 _ H 1 1 _ .'A .. _ L>yaia iviius communny, esumates that she and her brother have worn out about 15 cars going back and forth between her home and her work. We wish Miss Gladys and her brother many more years l of happy traveling as they circle the globe several more I times.

Twelve Times M MISS GLAD^ . . . Secretary to President Bi SHOES Of all things made by men. shoes are more like themselves than any other article. Shoes have soles, as have men. and shoes have tongues, and shoes have ties. A shoe is lost and quite useless without a mate. Like men. shoes are high and low; some are broad and some are narrow. Some are black and some are white, and some, like men. even have a yellow streak in them, and are usually tanned early in their career. Shoes and men are made to go on feet, and they often get run down at the heel. Shoes hide their defects sometimes under a thin veneer of polish and shine in the world. But they grow old and wrinkled, and new ones step in to take their places. Some shoes, like men, support a pretty woman; others are spurned by a woman who says she wouldn't have them; others are admired by a woman and made the idol of her cvc. Shoes, like men, cause worry and annoyance when they are "misfits." Some shoes are trod upon, and some tread upon others. 3 Around World rs WILSON ailey. and "world traveler". MRS.
