After seeing the display in No.

i doubt that quality comes first,
ligh quality cloth has got to be
nade if we are to preserve our
obs for the future.

Dorothy Lawson?Weaving
No. 1
What I think of quality since I
lave seen the display of clothng
and other articles that was
et up in the little mill someime
ago. 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.

vhat is and can be made out of

Let's all work a little harder to

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.

"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."
