8 Clinton-Lydia employees are proud of the company's continuing program of plant modernization and improvements. Fortunately for all of us, our management has long realized that continuing modernization of the plants is essential to meet customers continuing demand for superior quality at competitive prices. Ours is a most competitive industry. To maintain and improve our competitive position, we must be a profitable operation. The new machinerv and improvements, which better enable us to more efficiently meet our old and new customers requirements, can only be provided from one source . . . profits. Profits, whether already realized, or expected in the future, are always necessary to provide the new tools required for improving the job. Such is the case with our n e w refrigeration system proudly featured on this page. This phase of our modernization programs represents a large investment designed to provide three major benefits: More comfortable working v| w HEART OF THE COOLING SYS1 refrigeration unit supplies air to a 1800 horsepower is required to op machine. \ ? ^ ! \ -? *y ^imm l\ v \ niaaw COOLING TOWER?Water pumpt chine condenser to cool the refrig< these large redwood water cooler air through the water as it drai: cement basin at the bottom.

Large expenditures of this nature can be justified only through efficient operations by cooperative, skillful employees such as we. The purchase of new machinery will not assure success for any textile plant. If a man doesn't "know-how" to take pictures with a box camera, there is no need for him to buy a Speed Graphic. He will continue to get the same poor results. Without "know-how" the most modern of textile plants would soon fail. We, at Clinton and Lydia, have modern machinery and loyal employees ready to add their knowledge and ability and take changes for progress in their stride. In this way the Company can benefit sufficiently in the long run to make these investments pay for themselves at the same time aiiording us a steady job, and a more secure future. After all, modernization is a mutually beneficial thing.
