MILL WHISTLE
Improvements Made
In Arrangements At
Central Warehouse
A series of improvements involving
relocation of several departments at
the Central Warehouse has been sub
stantially completed. The purpose of
the changes was to obtain a better line
up of operations permitting the goods
to flow in a straight line through the
various warehousing processes. In ad
dition to relocating the departments,
there was a general rearrangement of
the various operations within the units.
The Blanket Packing Department was
moved from the second to the third
floor of Central Warehouse and placed
in line with the Blanket Open Stock
Storage. Operations within the Blanket
Packing Department were rearranged
for greater convenience.
The Print Shop was moved from the
second floor of the Warehouse to the
third floor of the Finishing Mill. Ticket
ing operations were consolidated with
the Print Shop. This places the printing
and ticketing in the proper sequence of
operations.
Under the new arrangement, blank
ets from the Folding Department go
up a conveyor to the third floor and
remain on tne same floor level through
all the packing processes until they are
ready for carton storage. When pack
ing operations are completed, the car
tons go to the fifth floor of the old
Warehouse across the railway tracks.
