I 'Visit Gave Me
A Deeper Insigi
Your invitation to tour the
Bailey Plant of Clinton Mills
was greatly appreciated.
The entire February 28 af- (
ternoon was well planned
and effectively executed by
you and your associates. I (
am grateful for having been '
included. 1
Not only was it a privilege j
to see the plant, the exemplary
operation, and your i
fine product, but I was <
particularly impressed with I
every evidence of the human i
concern that is manifest J
toward each employee. I i
deeply appreciated your in- I
troductory remark that
"Clinton Mills was founded <
upon and continues to ope f
rate on Christian princi- y
pies." The superb reputation
which your company enjoys
in our community, I am
confident, rests upon this

The visit to the Bailey
Plant surely gave me a deeper
insight and a broauer
understanding into the daily
lives of those, within your
employ, who are a part of
our Church family. Hopefully,
because of this exposure,
I can more meaning

Thank you, also, for the

the facts booklet, and
ihe beautiful brochure commemorating
the company's

reminders of your thoughtfulness.
I am appreciative, Robert,
