HOWARD NEAL,
Blanket Weaver
By striving for high production and
good quality, Mr. Neal plays an im
portant part in the operation of the
Blanket Mill. Without good weavers
a mill could not long remain m busi
ness. To be a good weaver requires
considerable “know-how” and skill. It
is not enough for him to make high
production unless the quality is good,
nor can he concentrate on quality to
such an extent that he won’t get pro
duction. Through training, experience
and attentiveness to the job, a success
ful weaver like Mr. Neal produces good
quality and keeps waste to a minimum
while maintaining efficient production.
KATHERINE MANLEY,
Switchboard Operator
As switchboard operator and re
ceptionist in the Nantucket building
Spray, Mrs. Manley can help or hurt
the reputation of Fieldcrest Mills de
pending upon her treatment of visitors
and of persons who make telephone
calls to the mills. Her pleasant voice
and courteous manner are assets to the
Company because many people get
their first impression of Fieldcrest
through contact with her. Mrs. Manley
is the first Fieldcrest employee that
salesmen and other visitors meet and
she is the first contact that townspeople
and persons at distant places have when
they telephone the mills.

to groups all across the country. He

ner of putting across serious points in

Raleigh Municipal Court. He was Ra
leigh City attorney for several term
and was on the staff of the Attorney
General for 12 years. At the presen
time he is executive secretary of the
North Carolina State Employees Asso
ciation.
A Moral Here For Inventors
When Alexander Graham Bell in
ventor of the telephone, wrote in 1878
that some day “wires will unite dif
ferent cities, and a man in one part
of the country may communicate by
word of mouth with another in a dis
tant place,” people thought he was
crazy.
Today we have 48,000,000 telephones,
an average of 148,000,000 “word of
mouth” communications every day
and 700,000 people supplied with jobs,
in 21 of the telephone companies.
Here’s to the man who plans things.
Builds things, makes things;
Who prates not of wonders of old,
Nor gloats upon ancestral gold.
But takes off his coat and takes a-hold
And does things!
