HIGH POINT was the caption of a pic
ture story which appeared in the January
issue of The Pure Oil News, publication
distributed monthly by the Pure Oil Com
pany. Tliis publication has a circulation of
over eight thousand.
The story carried fifteen photographs
of the different steps of manufacturing and
processing full fashioned and seamless
hosiery. Mr. H. E. Sibley, editor of the
Pure Oil News, commented:
“High Point is literally covered with
hosiery and furniture factories and places
of business of the associated industries
which provide essential supplies for them.
Because Pure Oil has an interest in the
business activities of North Carolina, there
will be in these columns in months to
come several articles about some of the key
industries of the State. It is with this in
mind that the following picture story is
presented. The plant selected is one of
the best in the South and is a unit of the
well-known Adams-Millis Corporation.”
“One of the favorable impressions an
uninformed visitor must carry away from
high-grade North Carolina textile plants
is the cleanliness with which operations are
conducted under the most difficult con
ditions. A second and more important
observation was the cheerfulness, good
humor, and apparent prosperity which
prevailed among the noticeably attractive
women and men employed.”
“Doc,” said the old mountaineer, lead
ing a gangling youth into the presence of
the village medico, “I want you should
fix up my son-in-law. I shot him in the
leg yesterday and lamed him up a mite.”
“Tut, tut,” clucked the doctor disap
provingly. “Shame on you for shooting
your own son-in-law.”
“Wal, doc,” replied the mountaineer,
“he warn’t my son-in-law when I shot
him!” — Reading Railroad.
It was recently reported in the Greige Department of Plant No. 7 that an employee
who has been with the company for the past nineteen years has bought only one pair
of hose elsewhere during her employment. This pair was bought due to the fact .she
was spending the week-end out of town and felt she did not have enough hosiery on
hand. She is always proud to recommend the stockings to anyone and .speaks very well
of the company for which she works. She expresses her desire to remain with the
company as long as she is able to work.
Her motto is “Boost the product that you help to make and make the quality that
you are proud to wear."
Geraldine Carroll is shown modeling for the product so mentioned above.
