P. S. Bailey introduced the
new paper as "Your paper,"
written by and for and available
to all employees. It was
to be published monthly "for
the purpose of bringing all of
us closer together. Fellow
employees in one plant will
know what is going on in the
other plant. Its columns will
also seek to inform you of
company activities, safety
achievements, recreation and
other matters of general in
leresi and importance. We
hope this paper will reflect on
our new look, blending all ol
us together into a closer working
team which will result in
a spirit of understanding and
cooperation unequaled in any
other textile plant," he said
In the years since 1952
"The Clothmaker" has tried tc
operate on the formula set by
the late President. It has attempted
to present balanced
material about employees
their communities, and the
textile industry.
