How a Fieldale couple remodeled and
improved their home, purchased from
the Company several years ago, is
pictured below. Mrs. Ethel Harrington,
an inspector in the Towel Sewing Dept.,
conceived the ideas for most of the im
provements and did the planning. Her
husband, L. E. “Lefty” Harrington,
winder and folder in the Towel Sewing
Dept, helped put tlie plans into effect
and did much of the painting and some
of the building of cabinets and other
fixtures.
Both of the Harringtons take a keen
interest in their home situated on Third
street in Fieldale and are continually
doing something to further improve and
beautify the house or premises.
The house has been remodeled into
an attractive home with five rooms and
bath. All floors were re-finished and
are kept like new. All of the rooms
plastered or sheetrocked. .
They converted an old back porch m
an attractive bedroom and bathroom
and used a part of the former porch
enlarge the kitchen. Another
novation was a long haUway into wbic
open the three bedrooms and batn-
room. The new arrangement makes
possible to heat the house with an ou
floor furnace located in the hall.
