Traynham and Vice President in dent of Clinton Cottons, Inc., sor Norman Meye Norman Mpvprs Pmcirlnnt of Clinton Cottons, Inc., Clinton-Lydia's sales agents, early this month paid one of his periodic visits to the mills. These routine visits are part of the mills' policy to keep the sales end of the business well informed of advancements which take place in both of our mills. Pride --It's One of the important factors in the tremendous industrial development of o u r country has been the desire on the part of so many American people to do well whatever thev put their hands to. In our early history individuals working in their homes produced articles which have come down to us as works of art. These people started with the raw material a n d individually followed through each stage in the production of the " ished article. There was. no doubt, a great deal of personal satisfaction in being able to say. "I alone made this. It is entirely the work of my hands." However, the minds and hands which produced these articles were soon alert to the fact that the rapidly increasing population created demands which could not be met by producers working as individuals. The idea of teamwork was hit upon as a solution to the problem of increased proi ? > nil*. IIUII.

Pride in being able to work as a valuable member of the team replaced the pride that came from producing a finished product alone. To do tliis required an even greater sense of responsibility. The picker tender, the card t e n d e r . the spinner, the sweeper, the weaver and all the other assignments became dependent upon one another. Each had an important job to do and it was only when eacn was clone well that the cloth produced was of highest quality. Mr. and Mrs. Spurgeon Todd. Lydia Mills, announce i the birth of a daughter.

Each player has a definite assignment and when the combined efforts of the team result in victory, each player takes pride in the contribution he has made to the team's success. It is this same spirit of teamwork on a larger scale which is necessary for a business enterprise and when the result is top quality cloth. I(V there should be the same pride in a job well done.
