Information On The
New Sales Office
The new sales office for the Fieldcrest
Domestics made in our mills, was open
ed officially Thursday, June 21, at 88
Worth Street in New York City. There
were three previews'—the first one a
breakfast for the press on Tuesday
morning, June 19; the second one—
Tuesday afternoon for associates of
Marshall Field and Company Manufact
uring Division in the textile industry;
and the third—Wednesday afternoon
for customers of the Manufacturing Di
vision and they came in droves from
coast to coast.
The new headquarters are just a few
, steps east of the former address at 82
Worth Street. The space is larger, for
the showing and selling of the four do
mestics lines and will accomodate, too
the new merchandise planned for after-
the-war selling.
On the two floors of the new head
quarters there are the showroom and
the executive and sales office, stock
room, sample room, conference room,
and lounge room for women. When
you enter the doors at 88 Worth Street,
you step right into the showroom. It is
modern in design, shows all of the mer
chandise to advantage, is pleasing to the
eye both from the standpoint of color
and lighting, and looks and is comfort
able. It will be a pleasant place in which
the Fieldcrest staff can meet and sell to
their store customers.
The double Herculite doors .are set
diagonally into the entrance, making it
possible for anyone entering to see more
of the showroom at a glance than if the
doors were set straight into the wall.
The towels, bedspreads and blankets
are displayed in long wall cases around
the room. Each of these case sections is
individually lighted, bringing out the
colors of the Domestics in a clear and
fascinating way, and adding a lot to the

Congratulations
Everybody!
Well, we did it again, as we expected.
We all knew that the Manufacturing
Division would go all out in their pur
chases of Bonds in the 7th War Bond
Drive but what actually happened was
that bond purchases were three or four
times higher than ever before; seven
milis going far over 100 percent and one,
the Hosiery Mili lacked little of being
on the 200 percent mark!
We are proud of that record and it
gives us something to shoot at when
the next War Bond Drive comes around.
And those seven mills whose total aver
age IS 124 percent can proudly feel that
they are staunchly holding their end of
the Home Front line—side by side with
their men in the fighting line.
Here is the final score;
