F PUBLICATION
On February 15. 1952. ' THE
TX)THMAKER" was pubished
for the first time. 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.
