Buddy Taylor
MEET YOUR SUPERVISOR
His eighteenth
birthday is well
remembered, for
it was on that day
that Buddy Taylor
was old enough to
work on the third
shift, and it was
on that day that he
was called to come
to work on the third
shift at the Grimes
Street Plant of
Adams-Millis.
Buddy was reared in Yadkin
County where he worked on the family
farm until he was seventeen. He came
to High Point and worked in another
hosiery mill until he was eighteen.
He started as a preboarder on the
third shift. He later moved to the
second shift where he continued
boarding and supervising the small
force then working night shift.
In January of 1956, Taylor was
transferred to the dye room at Plant
#2 to weigh dye and assist the fore
man. The dye department and the
boarding room of Plant #2 were mov
ed to English Street in July of 1959
when Taylor was named foreman of
the second shift.
When the second shift was dis
continued in the dye house, Taylor
was assigned to the laboratory as
laboratory assistant. Here he work
ed for two years before returning to
the dye house as foreman.
Taylor has been recognized as a
quiet spoken supervisor who will get
the job done despite the obstacles.
The machine operators in the dye
house know him for his sincerity and
eagerness. There is a sense of
loyalty to their foreman on the part
of the men and the same sense of
loyalty to the operators on the part of
the foreman.
Buddy Taylor attended Fall Creek
School in Yadkin County. His work
since leaving the farm has been entire
ly in the hosiery field. He is married
to the former Miss Lois Carter of
High Point; they live at 1117 Tryon
Street. There are two very lively
little Taylors--Kathy, age 4; and
Keith, age 9. The Taylors attend
Ennis Street Methodist Church.
Buddy's hobby is hunting. He
returns to Yadkin County for his rab
bit hunting; and although he has never
bagged a deer, he goes deer hunting
at every opportunity in Hoke and Robe
son Counties.
