MESSAGE
EROM THE
PRESIDENT
TO MY FELLOW WORKERS:
After this issue of Sew It
Seams there may be a lapse of
three or four months in its pub
lication.
The importance of a publica
tion such as this meeting the
changing need; of its particular
company is apparent to manage
ment and employees. Therefore,
afler consultation, a decision to
re-examine the purposes and
needs of Sew It Seams was made.
You accordingly will hear from
director, said the last half of ’56
closed out a “good year” as far
as Anvil-Tractor Brand sales
were concerned and that the
sales department is optimistic
about the outlook for the new
year. “The excellent workman
ship in our garments and the
cooperation of our employees in
seeing that orders were met on
time,” Mr. Peyton said, “ac
counted for much of our success
in 1956.”
The seven salesmen who led
the field for Anvil Brand from
July to December, 1956, included
R. L. Robotham, in first place;
Sew It Seams again as soon as
permanent plans have been
laid.
Cordially,
li.C.
C. V. Ashley and P. H. Yancey,
who tied for third place. Mr. Ro-
botham’s territory is Southern
New Jersey and southeastern
Pennsylvania. Mr. Johnson cov
ers central Pennsylvania and
western New York. Mr. Ashley
covers northwestern West Vir
ginia and southeastern Ohio and
Mr. Yancey covers Georgia.
Three Anvil Brand salesmen
achieved more than 100 percent
of their sales quota during the
last half of 1956. They included
C. B. Joyce of Florida, Harold
D. Smith of Southern Virginia
and G. P. Hedrick, Jr., of South
Carolina.
The four top standing sales
men for Tractor Brand in the
past six months were W. R. Mor
row, Robert Shue, Arthur Herz
berg and C. C. Collier. Mr. Mor
row represeants eastern and cen
tral North Carolina, Mr. Arthur
Herzberg covers eastern Penn
sylvania and nothern New Jer
sey, Mr. Collier is in West Vir
ginia and southwestern Virginia
and John Carpenter’s territory
is Florida.
Five Tractor Brand salesmen
made more than 100 percent of
their quota during the p>eriod.
They included the four top
standing salesmen listed above
and also John Carpenter who
covers Florida.
“We feel our company has an
outstanding sales corps,” Mr.
Peyton remarked. “We are glad
to recognize these top men for
this past six months, and also
want to commend all the sales
men for their work in 1956.”
Real intelligence is a creative
use of knowledge, not merely an
accumulation of facts. The slow
thinker who can finally come up
with an idea of his own is more
important to the world than a
walking encyclopedia who hasn’t
learned how to use information
productively.
