MRS. GARNER AND SID MULLER RETIRE
Mrs. Garner
Early on the
morning of April 29,
1927, a young lady
from Moore County
reported to Mr.
B. A. Redding at
the old High Point
Hosiery Mill to
learn to pair men's
socks. Her name
was Eula Garner,
and she stayed with
Adams-Millis Cor
poration almost thirty-nine years,
retiring December 31, 1965. Mrs.
Garner made $5. 00 ($1. 00 per ten-
hour day) the first week she worked
with Adams-Millis. There were only
three styles of men's socks to pair;
the colors were black, navy, brown,
gun-metal and champagne. Soon, she
was made supervisor and instructor
for the pairers and menders, the job
she held for about twenty years after
moving across the street to the Pied
mont Plant. Then, she was placed in
charge of irregular stock and finally
transferred to the job of order clerk
in the stock room, where she worked
until her retirement. She had not been
absent from work a single day for the
past seven years.
Born in Rock Hill in Moore County,
N. C. , Eula Morgan was married in
1918 and lived in the country for a
while, moving to High Point in 1927.
She was employed in a shirt factory
for about two weeks before coming to
Adams-Millis, where her brother,
Virgil F. Morgan, was employed in
the dye house (and where he worked
for over forty years). Through the
years, employment with Adams-Millis
has been a family affair with the
Morgans and Garners. Another broth
er, Carl E. Morgan, was employed
one year after Mrs. Garner was, and
is still working in the Knitting Depart
ment of Plant #1. Mrs. Garner's two
- 3
sons, Neal (now with the N. C. Tax
Department) and Joel (now with Snyder
Paper Company), were formerly em
ployed in Plant #1; and her daughter,
Dorothy Garner Marshall, also work
ed in the Finishing Department of that
plant. There are four grandchildren,
none of whom are yet old enough to
work anywhere.
Mrs. Garner is an active member
of Rankin Memorial Methodist Church
and its Women's Society of Christian
Service. She resides at 212 Venable
Court, High Point, N. C.
Sid Muller,
west coast repre
sentative for
Adams-Millis since
1935, will be taking
life a bit easier after
February 8. Sid has
retired and will be
relaxing at 800 Holly
Road, Belmont,
California. "We
have a half acre lot
and Betty and I will
be growing some flowers, "
Mullet
Sid said.
"We don't plan to do a great deal other
than just live. "
Sid is a native of New York City;
Mrs. Muller, the former Elizabeth
Westphal, is from New Jersey. Muller
was a manufacturer's representative
for several firms on the west coast be
fore joining Adams-Millis.
The Mullers won't be spending all
of their time at home. They have trav
elled in South America, Australia and
the Orient. Their future travel plans
include a trip to Europe.
Jim Jarvis, who has been associ
ated with Muller on the west coast, will
continue with Muller's customers.
