The lublication was temporarily mown as The Clinton-Lydia sews, until Mr. W. Pierre Jurdette's suggested name of THE CLOTHMAKER" was elected from more than 300 ntries from employees by a lualified panel of judges who rere not in any way associted with the mills. Mr. Burdette's theory belind his entry was. "There re hundreds of different jobs 11 Clinton-Lydia Mills, but egardless of what they are. hey all point to one end ... naking quality cloth at a ompetitive price." . . . thus he suggested name. "The Mothmaker." Looking back over past isues. we find many interesting facts concerning employes. their families, their lomes. and their communiies. "THE CLOTHMAKER" is ublished by and for employes of Clinton-Lydia Mills. C i t h your continued assisance in submitting news terns and suggestions to vour eporters, wo will strive to lake "THE CLOTH MAKER" n interesting and informaive publication. We hope as the vears roll n "THE CLOTHMAKER" rill continue to be a mirror o reflect activities, both on nd off the job of ClintonA'dia employees and families nd will serve as a symbol of riendship for each other.
