The textile industry is developing
rapidly. Machines are handling more
of the heavier work, increased automation
means additional training for our
people, less physical work, and higher
pay.
The textile industry has always op)

providing jobs for minority groups. It
employs a far higher proportion of
women than manufacturing in general.
You can be sure of finding equal opportunity
in the textile field. You can be
sure, too, of job security and fair wages.
The industry's wages for comparable
skills are very competitive with other
^ industries.
Environment is an important issue
to all of us. About 60 per cent of the
industry's employees are employed in
non-metropolitan areas; away from big
city traffic, from commuting, and all

for your family, and for your community.
Immediate environment is also important
to the career - minded person.
^ In most textile plants you'll find the
working conditions to he the safest,
most pleasant and modern that industrial
environmental engineers could de

Institute tells us that more than
seven billion dollars have been invested
in the past ten years in order to provide
the best working conditions possible.

worry about being left behind as technology

employee benefits at all.
With this thought in mind, let us
continuously remind ourselves again
and again how important it is for all of
us working together in reducing costs,
eliminating waste, and maintaining
high efficiency and quality. All these
things, working together, enable Clinton
Millls to sell its fabric at a favor

Only in this way can we continue to
please our customers, who. in the final
analysis, make our vacations possible.
