Didn’t Know Mr. Chatham (Continued From Page One) my estimate, than those who car ry on his business continue to honor his opinions in important matters of policy. It proves a staunch belief in his decisions, which has lasted through the years. Even the finest and most modern machinery is soon out dated, up-to-the-minute processes are discarded in favor of those more suited to changed condi tions, but the essential rules of a progressive business go on for ever. It seems that Mr. Chat ham, during his active business life, laid down a set of rules for all of us to follow which are al ways in the forefront of our daily routine. Our company is making steady progress, otherwise it could not survive the pace of modern com petition, and a great many changes have come about within the years since Mr. Chatham’s death, but the very foundation, the bed rock, is exactly as he made it. If I were asked to men tion the one outstanding influence left by Mr. Chatham in this com pany, I should unhesitatingly ad vance my belief that it is the re lation between those who operate the machines and carry on the detail wprk and those who gov ern the policies by which we earn our daily bread. No. fore man or official is ever too busy to discuss the problems of a day’s work with one of his men. In a great many cases this is car ried even further, as an official attempts to help an employee with some of his problems out side his work. Something of Mr. Chatham’s nature has survived in the un failing courtesy with which stran gers and visitors to the mill are treated. Any number of men who visit mill after mill in North Carolina, have told me that they are treated with more courtesy, and made to feel more welcome at the offices of the Chatham Manufacturing Co. than at any other plant they visit. All this sort of thing makes for good will, as these visitors take away from our mills either one of two impressions, and we are fortunate that in our case they leave us with nothing but praise for our company to the next man they meet. Mr. Chatham’s influence is felt to-day as it will be felt ten years from to-day. If it were not for our own good, it could not stand the test of time. Was Active In Church (Continued From Page One) home a delightful place to visit, will be attested to by his neigh bors and hosts of friends. He was faithful to his church and Sunday school, serving in perhaps every capacity in both. At one time he served as secre tary of the Sunday school, then for many years as teacher of a large class of men, and if no oth er work called him, on hand as a member of the school. He was during his entire adult life, a member of the board of stewards of his church, generally an offi cer of the board and always with wise words of guidance. He was unexcelled as a host in church meetings and conferences giving freely of his time and means to wards making such meetings suc cessful. In a more unusual way his Christian character was shown by his love for his fellow man. No human being was too insignifi cant to get his time and sympa thy. None too unworthy to get help and good advice. Although imposed on frequently he had no ill feeling, having faith enough in humanity to believe that no kindness is wasted. To his friends, sympathy, ad vice and help was given gener ously and ungrudgingly. He loved to help people and by his sympathy, understanding heart and willingness was permitted to be a man of great good to his generation. She: “Did you tell your fath er over the phone we were en gaged?” He: “Yes.” She; “What did he reply?” He: “I’m not sure whether he replied or whether the line was struck by lightning.”
