S. -YEAR SERVICE E( ( iiving 5-year Continuous Service affer, and Louise Blackwell, SpinRoy Holtzclaw h^s just presented -atulations. Joe Sam Caughman. er, Industrial Relations Director, MS EIGHTH V PUBLICATION On February 15. 1952. "THE CLOTHMAKER" was published for the first time. The publication was temporarily known as The Clinton-Lvdia News, until Mr. W. Pierre Burdette's suggested name of "THE CLOTHMAKER" was selected from more than 300 entries from employees by a qualified panel of judges who were not in any way associated with the mills. Mr. Burdette's theory behind his entry was. "There are hundreds of different jobs in Clinton-Lvdia Mills, but regardless of what they are. they all point to one end . .. making quality cloth at a competitive price." . . . thus the suggested name. "The Clothmaker." Looking back over past issues. we find many interesting facts concerning employees. their families, their homes, and their communities. "THE CLOTHMAKER" is published bv and for employees of Clinton-Lvdia Mills. With your continued assistance in submitting news items and suggestions to your reporters, we will strive to make "THE CLOTH MAKER" an interesting and informative publication. We hope as the vears roll on "THE CLOTHMAKER" will continue to be a mirror to reflect activities, both on and off the job of ClintonLvdia employees and families and will serve as a symbol of friendship for each other.
