We did not realize ust what quality meant until vo saw so many articles that we ise every day made from good loth. It takes perfect materials or these things and it is up to ill of us to see that quality loth is being woven. So let's cork together so that we may :eop producing quality goods. W Vera Smith?Spinning Room No. 1 "After looking at the things >n display. I knew that we were naking first class filling. The vay to do that is to stay on the ob. Then we will have reguar work." Dscar B. Kinard?Weavinq No. 1 After seeing the useful items >n displav in No. 1 Weaving. Ulinton Mills, you get an idea of vhat is and can be made out of he fine quality cloth that is nade at Clinton Cotton Mills. Let's all work a little harder to <eep it that way. Henry Campbell?Card Room No. 1 'The display impressed me eery much: to see the many things that our product goes into was very interesting. I did not know the displav case was made from our product. I realize mom aow why we should keep our quality high." Marvin Whitmire?Card Room "I thought the display was very good. I did not realize that our cloth went into the making af so many products. I can see why we should maintain a high standard of quality. < m. Mary Sue Turner?Spinning Room No. 1 "I had no idea so many different products were made from the materials we make. I was quite surprised to know that we made book-bindings and raincoats." Before you flare up at anyone's faults, take time to count ten?ten of your own.
