One in Whit mire, and the other in Hen dersonville, N C. It is the only major Hosiery Manufac turer handling the entire op eration, knitting, finishing and sales. All of this is handled out of its local office. Anderson does not have a New York sales office or advertising ag ency. He sells personally, dir ectly to some of the big chains and department stores through out the nation. He has stayed over the years with good qual ity hosiery in the price bracket that he feels the people want and turning out a good pro duct. He sells under 14 differ ent brand names such as “Dap- perette,” “Fawn,” “Flower Cart,” “Kamma Lee,” “Sun dae.” and many others Most of these sell for 50 cents a pair and a few are priced a little higher. Many people have remarked that Collie Anderson is a self- made man. Mr. Anderson puts it this way, “People build a business. There’s no such thing as a self-made man, and any one is foolish to claim it, for whatever success we have ach ieved here we have to give credit to the people who help ed.” Anderson’s early years ir the hosiery field was not easy He worked hard with his small staff, day and night. In his early years as a jobber, he was probably the first person to sell hosiery in dress shops. He began to realize that women not only needed hosiery Mon day through Saturday but they also needed hosiery at times on Sunday when they would get runs in their hose and have to have new ones, so he was the first to realize there would have to be some place to sell hose on Sunday. He began to place hosiery in drug stores, which was about the only place that would he available to handle them on Sunday at that time. He named the brand “Sundae,” and this line is still carried on by the Anderson Hosiery Company. Mr. Anderson and his wife, Rose, have three daughters, Barbara Anderson, Frady and Catherine Anderson Orr, who are now living in Clinton An other daughter, Norma Ander son, is the wife of Gary Lehn who is vice president and Gen eral Manager of the C. W. Anderson Hosiery Company, Clinton. Mr. Lehn works hand in hand with Mr. Anderson to see that the operation goes smoothly at all times. The company in Clinton currently operates with some 700 em ployees, most of them being in the finishing division, since knitting is a highly automated operation. This company is one of the few Hosiery Manufactu rers with a retirement and pro fit sharing plan along with hospitalization, major medical, life insurance and other em ployee benefits.
