JUNE. 1973 f : ^^1 I A MESSAGE I " FROM ^ I CLINT N (I ^//ry-g Not long ago, in a textile company magazine, I saw a cartoon that showed a salesman with a big box marked "waste" chained to his leg. This salesman was going into a customer's office and he looked like he couldn't hardly walk for the big weight on his leg. I got a good laugh out of the cartoon ^ and afterwards I started to think about it. A company salesman can t sen waste, but the things he does sell has to be priced high enough to cover the cost of some waste. It stands to reason, then, that the less the waste, the lower the cost of first quality goods and the better chance a salesman has of beat ing our cumpei.ii.iuii. So every time I see waste in the plants, I think of one of Clinton's sales^ men walking into a customer's office dragging a big box of waste behind him. I feel sort of sorry for the salesman. Besides, I know that our salesmen have to get the orders if the plants are to keep running and our Profit Sharing/Retirement Fund is to keep growing. Your friend, no. ft NEVER ENOUGH Good enough is never enough to satisfy the man who really cares. Everything we do ? everything we make, has to be exactly right ? every time.

"Under recent changes in the Social Security law, the hospital insurance part of Medicare will also be extended to people 65 and older who previously did not qualify for coverage because they haven't worked long enough under Social Security," the spokesman said. "People buying hospital coverage under this provision will also be required to enroll for medical insurance," the spokesman said. Starting July 1, the basic monthly premium for the medical insurance part of Medicare will be $6.30, an increase of 50 cents a month over the current rate. "Disabled people require seven times as much hospital care as other people and three times as much service from doctors," the spokesman said. "For more information about the changes in Medicare," the spokesman said, "call, write, or visit any Social Security office." Homer Law ton Fathers hson are the proud fathers of Robert 73 M. S.
