Page Two SEW IT SEAMS SEPTEMBER ISSUE Sewing Up Sales by Hugh Webster \j SEW IT SEAMS Published Monthly by ANVIL BRAND INCORPORATED High Point, N. C. COOKIE BROOKS, Editor PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE — (Continued from Page One) forever in the history of adventure, and as a mountain climber highest honors would be his. But the pub lic will never know the answer. Each man steadfastly refused to admit that he was “first.” Norkey, the guide, said in his halting and uncertain English when asked the question, “That question make much trouble about who reach top first. I like say both got top together almost same time.” It was a striking lesson in team spirit. Both men, with a large party of climbers, had started with a fixed purpose. Hillary could not have reached the top without Nor- key. Nor could Norkey have suc ceeded without Hillary. And both-^ were quick to point out that tht^ climb would have been impossible but for the support of their 300 companions. In turn, all other members of the exploring party gained great satisfaction in having a hand in the history-making achievement. Spirit like that makes life worth while and insures the highest de gree of happiness, whether in work, play, or an accomplishment like conquering Mount Everest. I see that spirit so clearly in all our Anvil Brand activities. I saw it in the merry-making atmos phere of our picnic. And as the festivities ended, one thought above all others became uppermost in my mind: Nothing could contribute more to our mutual happiness, progress and content, than to carry all through the year that same picnic spirit of harmony, fellowship and team-work. ' Cordially yours, The man who complains that the boss is dumb would be out of a job if he were any smarter. Whenever the going seems easy —make sure you are not going down hill. 29 Volunteer Blood Twenty-nine Anvil Brand em ployees volunteered to give a pint of blood to the Red Cross Blood- mobile last Monday and Tuesday. Donors were Beatrice Brown, Hazel Ward, Mildred Parker, Ger trude Stultz, Kathryn Johnson, Nell Burroughs, Adral Stamey, Dora Byerly, Elizabeth Easter, Bertha Ferguson, Avery Taylor Jones Dagenhart, Herb Ross, Jas per Michaels, Clark Benfield, Robert Harris, Archie McBride, George Williams, R. N. Morgan, Alden Bean, E. A. McCall, Anna McKinney, Ludie Mae Ingram, Ha Luther, Dorothy Brown, Iris Poole, Lois Seism, Betty Bell, and Doro thy Carr. Emma Charles gave a pint of blood last month and was not list ed in Sew It Seams. The Red Cross had as a quota this trip 375 pints and the infor mation at noon on Monday as Sew It Seams was going to press, was that the city had responded with more than enough volunteers to meet this goal. Anvil Brand is proud of the lai-ge number of volunteers from its family. The right angle to success is the Try-angle. The place will be jumping on Saturday, September 26, when all Anvil Brand salesmen will be in High Point for a special sales meeting. This meeting is to acquaint our representatives with the improve ments which have recently been made in the construction of some of our lot numbers, and bring them up to date on the sales advantages which, when properly presented to the trade, will mean more business and more work for all of us. All improvements bring with them difficulties which must be surmounted. This is true in produc tion, engineering, and also in sales, for our sales representatives must be acquainted with every point about these improvements so as to be able to thoroughly explain them to each customer. Some customers will be quicker than others to recognize the ad vantages brought to their attention and some will have objections which must be overcome through complete knowledge of the prod uct and practical demonstration. Our customers must be schooled on every improvement and sales point through our salesmen, so they can use this information to increase volume and better satisfy their trade. The wearer of any garment is always happier in clothing that he knows has been manufactured right and from the very best of materials that can be provided for the price. Our sales representatives ar« going to know every part, ever^4^ operation and all there is to know ‘ about our garments before they leave High Point, and it is up to each of us in the factory to do our part to see that these garments are produced and continue to flow uniformly high in quality. Only through top quality can we be as sured of re-orders and continued busy work days. WILLARD HUSSEY —, (Continued from Page One) for his new position. He likes the new position and is working hard at it. “It’s fine country up there,” he said, “and I have hopes of find ing a house so I can have my fam ily with me.” His family consists of a wife and three youngsters.

A smart man is one who hasn’t let a woman pin anything on him since he was a baby. Remember there are two ends of your backbone you can use; heads you win — tails you lose. SOMETHIN(i NEW' — Nancy Myers of the pants department is shown working with one of Anvil Brand’s eight new Trim Masters which uses air suction and razor-type enclosed blades to clip the strings from a garment.
