ANDERSON STORY
(Cintinued from page 1)
two other plants. 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.
