Page Eight THE MILL WHISTLE October 26, 1942 Right Off The Floor! NEWS OF OUR NEW YORK OFFICES Karastan, 295 Fifth Avenue Domestics, 82 Worth Street First mention of the week groes to the heroic efforts of our engineering- staff, Jim Dasher (see illustration) and Tom Gilchrist, who was not available at the time the photographer called. From the nocks and crannies of our two floors and two basements, they ferreted industriously until the many hundreds of pomids of scrap shown, were assembled for the collectors. After all, we’re not a manufacturing unit, and to get this collection out of an office, we think, deserves high praise. Jim was reluctant to be photographed as he felt his strenuous efforts made him ap pear a little pale. Hats off to the boys! It’s nothing new when an executive blows his own horn, but we are sur prised one of them is advertising it! Best reports from our snoops indicate C. E. Moulton, head of the Sheet De partment, contemplates purchasing a cornet. Might be a good addition to our air raid sirens at that. A cornet is one of those instruments primarily de signed to break leases, and of a player one cannot say “none of your lip”— it’s simply essential to cornet playing. Congratulations to Julia Taube and her husband, who is pushing up fast through the ranks of the Navy. Re cently home on a six-day furlough, and looking about 103% the picture of health, he tells us that he is now an Apprentice 2nd Class Petty Officer, and is going to Machinist School. He will then graduate as a 2nd Class Machin ist’s Mate. Julia is so proud that she feels it is almost worthwhile to lease- lend him to the government. News is trickling in from our re porter on that remote section of Long Island known -as Sands Point, to the effect that C. W. Singer, alias “Dink”, has been entertaining some American citizens at his famous “Mortgage Manor.” Arthur S. Thompson, head of the Towel Department, openly brags that he survived a night of entertain ment with the Singers. Quite a fellow! Worth Street boasts that it has im proved upon the famous triple pl&y, im mortalized in baseball history as “Tink er to Evers to Chance.” The new quin tuple play organized by the Towel De partment works something like this: The customer asks for merchandise; the play then goes—“Customer to Wig- more, to Thompson, back to Wigmore, to customer.” No, the customer is not always “out”, but very often he is dazzled by the proceedings. Seems to work though. Your columnist takes pleasure in frustrating a fifth column plot involv ing a popular blonde lady, momentarily unnamed, who presides at our switch board. For dubious reasons, not dis closed and having nothing to do with maintaining a healthful temperature, six Worth Street residents, separately and in collusion, plotted getting the young lady a new sweater tor Christ mas. Let’s get organized, boys—she knows all the answers—she’s married —she’s dis-interested. So put your money in bonds, not blondes. W. L. Pierce has successfully recov ered from a bad strep throat, and has managed to bring his voice back to pre-infection levels. Right now, and for the next little while, he will be seeing customers in St. Louis, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Omaha, Hastings, Denver, Chicago, Indianapolis, Louis ville, Columbus and Detroit. That, my friends, is a lot of traveling for just about eleven days! “Bob” Graham is also enroute, see ing friends and customers (frequently the same). His trip takes him to Chi cago, Indianapolis, Omaha, Hastings, Denver, Chicago and New York. En route he will join forces with Mr. Pierce. Heres’ to a pleasant and suc cessful trip! ' While we are covering the traveling department, G. L. Ivie is off to Wash ington on O.P.A. duties for a few days, thence back to the golf course in oraer to recover. Our general manager, Luther H. Hodges, has just returned from a visit to the University of North Carolina. On Monday, October 12th, a portrait of Dr. Harry Woodburn Chase, Chancellor of New York Dni- versity and former president of both the University of Illinois and the Uni versity of North Carolina, was present ed to the University of North Caroliiia. The presentation was part of the cere monies inaugurating the 149th anniver sary of the founding of the University of North Carolina, where Dr. Chase served as president from 1919 to 1930. The portrait, painted by the noted Wil liam Steene, was presented to Frank Graham, president of the University, by Mr. Hodges. The portrait was donated by Luther H. Hodges, George V. Den ny, Jr., president of New York’s Town Hall, Inc., and moderator of the Town Hall Meeting of the Air, and J. Dewey Dersett, of the Association of Casualty and Surety Executives. All three men are alumni of the University of North Carilina, former students of Mr. Chase. Another one of our Columbus Day travellers—Kay DeLaney, upstairs—32 Worth Street, comes back with a most unlikely story. She says, “I went to Providence to see my sister.” Says we, “and, since when' was your sister’s name Ted Dolan?” Wedding Bells.—John P. Haley, Mrs. Haley (the former Miss Virginia Taylor) and Miss Helen Ficker. The picture was taken immediately follow ing the wedding.
