They are ours only as we use our
opportunities to obtain them.
But in giving thanks at this
season for our God-given and self-
developed blessings, let us remem
ber that underlying all that we are
and all that we have are the prin
ciples outlined by the founders of
this nation: “The basic freedoms,
the respect for individual rights
and human dignity, and the con
cept of equal opportunity for all
men.”
Not in all the world is there
another nation providing for its
citizens such liberties for achiev
ing any goals within their ambi
tions and their powers.
For these gifts and privileges
and accomplishments we can well
look on every day as a proper day
tor thanksgiving, beginning and
concluding the day with grateful
prayer for the rewards bestowed
upon us from so many sources.
Sincerely yours.

Especially to be congratulated
this year are ladies’ dungaree
which came up from a $49 contri
bution last year; pants, which
gave $310.50 in 1953; shipping, up
from a $13 contribution in 1953;
and the mechanics who last year
were classified with their various
departments and who number only
an even dozen.
It was the second United Fund-
Red Cross drive for High Point and
this year’s contributions indicate
Anvil' Brand workers approve of
the united way of giving. Sup
ported by the money contributed
to the drive are those agencies
that supplement, rather than dup
licate, the work of agencies sup
ported by our tax dollars. All are
necessary to the well being and
successful growth of High Point.
NEW SPRING LINE—

wave. Four are in a new type
print with panel effect. These are
made without pockets, because to
place pockets on these shirts would
break the panel design.
There are long sleeved sport
shirts, too, for both men and boys.
Big news for boys are the new
Ivy League (narrow leg) pants,
with pleated front, zipper fly,
dropped belt loops and flap pocket.
There are two hip pockets, the
front pockets are swings. They
come in 8.5 oz. twill, in gray and
tan.
Mothers of larger boys will be
glad to learn that Anvil Brand’s
spring line also includes shorts in
8.5 oz. twill in sizes four to six
teen which have all the features
of the Ivy League pants.
A men’s sport slack in rayon
linen is truly a “good looker.” It
is wrinkle resistant, has pleated
front, zipper fly, and matching self
belt. It comes in navy, brown, spice
blue, and beige. A walking short,
in the same colors, also has
pleated front, zipper fly, match
ing self belt, and is made of the
same material. It looks high
styled, a big improvement over the
old walking short. The rayon
butcher linen is fully washable.
The legs of the shorts are slight
ly smaller in keeping with the
latest style.
Improvement has been made in
last year’s hobbies. They are tail
ored and have tabs over the hips
with two buttons for take-up in
stead of elastic band in the back.
Also, men’s denim shorts are made
on the same style and, like the
hobbies, come in three colors,
faded blue, charcoal, and brown.
The Kiddies haven’t been for
gotten in the spring line, either.
There are two shirt and short
combinations for kiddies in .plisse
and three lot numbers in shirts
in bright patterns. The staple kid
dies, bib boxers, and shorts, come
in a mixture of many bright
colors in plisses. There is a wide
choice of patterns and solid
colors.
Women’s wear makes headlines
in the new spring line, also.
Misses’ and girls’ matadors in
washable corduroy come in jet
black with pink cuff trim, flame
with white trim, and charcoal with
coral trim. The button trim mata
dors, mediumi weight twill, come
in gold Paget brown, copen blue,
jet black, flame red, Indian copper,
and khaki. The lace trim numbers
also are being continued.
Misses’ Bermuda shorts are
manufactured from the rayon
linen used in the men’s sport
slacks and walking shorts. Colors
are navy, brown, spice blue, and
Sewing Up Sales

The bringing out of the Spring
line is the culmination of many
hours of planning, dreaming, and
work of many people. The com
pleteness, detail, design and
breadth is undoubtedly due more
to Helen Hughes’ efforts than any
other one person. But, the Spring
line, as in all Anvil and Tractor
Brand goods, is the work, thought
and sincerity of everyone in the
organization.
Sometimes someone asks, “Why
do you work?” The first answer
is usually “Money—and desire for
security,” and no question but that
is necessarily first. But what real
ly makes us enjoy our work and
gives us the kick out of a job well
done, is the sense of contribution
and the opportunity of self expres
sion when we create something.
All of us have the urge and de
sire to produce and create. In
manufacturing, shipping and sell
ing Anvil Brand and Tractor
Brand, each of us has contributed
our lot to futher strengthen our
goods and our company among
our customers.
Whether or not you personally
cut, sewed or shipped our Spring
samples, through your daily work
you contributed in the making of
this 1955 Spring Line.
All of us had a part in enabling
our company to offer these new
goods and each one of you must
personally feel proud of your con
tribution toward creating these
smart, useful garments that will
enable our company to continue to
branch out and grow.
beige. Medium weig^ twill Ber
muda shorts come in gold, Paget
brown, copen blue, jet black, flame
red, Indian copper, and khaki.
Poplin regular shorts and shorty
shorts for both misses’ and girls’
have a Zeset finish (something ex
tra special in good looks) which
is wrinkle resistant. Colors are
fawn. Island blue, navy, gold, red,
sandalwood, charcoal, black, and
Nassau orange. All white shorts
are of the heavier topsail cloth.
A new construction job has been
done on the shorty short, making
legs tighter and giving more
length through the torso. They
have two darts in front, back
button band and a locking zipper
covered with full fly.
And, of course, don’t overlook
the new slimeree, designed to make
small hips out of big ones and
coming in 'black and red twill and
in blue denim.
The colors and materials in the
women’s blouses are just as ex
citing as those for men and boys.
There are short sleeves and sleeve
less in such wrinkle shed and
wrinkle resistant materials as Dan
Rived gingham, Santone combed
cotton, plisses, and many others.
There are plaids, solids, and many
beautiful patterns.

that is.
