Bailey. m % m _ _ _ nre Of Your Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "A man is relieved when he has put his heart into his work and done his best." Are you the employee who has this feeling of relief or are you one who wouldn't even sign your name to the job you just completed? That's a pretty good question? Are you willing to sign your name to all the worn you complete: In simple terms, do you give your best when performing your job? Do you take pains in your work? Are you proud of your fellow employees and your company? I II I ilR t ' : m\ m d 80th rv Edition I was born and reared at Clinton Mill Village, (now known as West Clinton) and I am employed with Clinton Mills, as my mother and father have been for many years. Being a part of Clinton Mills is a way of life to me and its history and progress has a special meaning to me. Sincerely, Mrs. Peggy Gilmer No. 2 Spinning Proud Work?

"People get accustomed to on time delivery and that's what I try to provide," he added with a pleasant smile. Fishing takes up much of the Clinton courier's time when he is away from work. "We have five children, said Pleaz, "and they require much of my time." "I'm also active in Flint Hill Baptist Church and the Masonic Lodge." For Pleaz Reid, job satisfaction is being here every day, and providing fellow employees with mail deliveries with a minimum of delays and improper deliveries. _ gg jfit8
