tn very glad to hear we are going
»lish a paper that will be of
interest to all employes. It is
derstanding that the primary pur-
if our little publication will be to
lews and information from home
of our boys in service, but that
1 be extended so that all of us
receive copies and participate in
!ws of the Mills and Sales Offices,
vish I could extend in person a
g to each of our boys in ser-
Vll of us think of them very of-
realize that they are having
■;es they will never forget. We
•ther that they do not con-
aiey are making a sacrifice but
cheerfully doing their bit for
America and for the cause of the Al-
hed Nations.
“Our various mills are turning out
products for the several branches of
our armed forces. We are making
■'VOOI blankets and overcoating, bagging
cloth, duck and shelter tents and many
other items.
“We have here at the 82 Worth Street
Office, in New York, an exhibit of all
of the war products our mills are mak
ing. This exhibit has proved to be of
■'nch interest to our customers and it
5 them a vivid explanation of why
they are not able to get as much goods
for civilian sales as they would like.
“Quite a few of our salesmen, both
in New York and other parts of the
country, have gone into service and
we hear excellent reports from them.
We have followed with much interest
the activities of the boys from the
Mills, and I want you to know that
the Manufacturing Division as a whole
is proud of all of those who have gone
from the various parts of the business.
“I want to wish for our editor and
his mill correspondents the best of
success in giving to the boys in service
and to other employes a publication
that will be of continued interest to
them.”

General Manager.

Greetings From TWUA
“On behalf of the Union which has
contractual relations with the nine
company mills in Leaksville, Spray,
and Draper, I wish to extend cordial
greetings to all the Tri-City boys now
in the armed forces.
“We on the home front pledge to do
our utmost to produce the equipment
which you boys in the service require
to do the job of smashing the axis.
“I want evei-y man now in any of
our armed services to know the Union
is proud of those who have answered
the call of our country in the time of
crisis.
“The issues in the present conflict
are clear to all of us. Either we will
continue to ifve in a free world with
victory or a slave world if we suffer
defeat.
“We shall leave no stone unturned
to cooperate with you in the fight to
maintain liberty and freedom.”

Get First Bonds Under Payroll Plan
Hats off to these four Marshall Fielders,
who have the distinction of being the first
in the organization to purchase War Bonds
under payroll purchase plan. In .the top
row (left to right) are: Wayman Smith, of
the Spray filter plant; Allen Baliles, sheet
ing mill; Roy Martin, rayon mill. At bottom
left is Robie McFarland of the hosiery mill.
A lai-ge percentage of employees are
now buying War Bonds under the convenient
payroll deduction plan with many depart
ments signed up 100 per cent. It’s a good
way to save and at the same time help insure
Victory.
