He and Bill Millis, Group General Manager, are representing Adams-Millis on the steering committee of local hosiery manufacturers and suppliers who are sponsoring Sock Scene as a finale to the annual Hosiery Week celebration. “The general public just doesn’t realize the impact of the hosiery business on the economy,” Millis said. “In High Point, for instance, the hosiery industry contributed revenues last year that were equal to, if not more than, the furniture industry. Yet, people in High Point consider it the ‘Furniture City.’ “We want to encourage all of our employees, not just those at the High Point locations, to attend Sock Scene and bring their families. “We’re going to have a fashion show by the members of the cast of Motion, displaying fashion hosiery produced in High Point. We’re also going to have a demonstration of sock knitting. You’ll be able to see socks being made just about from the beginning processes up to the finished product and we’ll be giving away samples. We think this will be educational, not only for some of our employees who may not have seen the entire process, but especially for the general public. We hope to have a good turnout for the afternoon event.” Other activities planned for Sock Scene include a sock pairing contest for children. Prizes will be awarded to the children who can pair the most socks in a given time period. Mr. Ryan joined Adams-Millis as a Corporate Personnel Director in 1974.
