ALMA HUNDLEY
Synthetic Fabrics Mill
One of the most important occupa
tions in the manufacture and sale of
fine fabrics is that of inspector. Strict
attention is required at all times so
that nothing will slip by unnoticed.
Alma Hundley, inspector at the Syn
thetic Fabrics Mill, knows that she
normally is the last person to see the
material before it is shipped. If she
were to fail to see some imperfection,
then the goods would be in the hands
of the customer before the imperfect
quality was discovered.
This could result in the roll’s being
returned by the customer with a con
sequent loss in effort, time, and money
—and most important, the customer
would lose some of his confidence in
Fieldcrest.
RANIE OVERBEY
Towel Mill Office
As chief order and billing clerk at
the Towel Mill Ranie Overbey is res
ponsible for all invoices that go out
to customers each day. She must make
su_e the invoices are correct and this
requires complete and up-to-date
knowledge of products, prices, salesmen,
customers, accounting sections and other
pertinent information about orders.
Her work must be done right and on
time. She works against a strict dead
line since all invoices must be com
pleted by a certain hour each afternoon
so that a report can be telephoned to
the General Office at Spray. Here a
daily summary of orders and shipments
for the day for all mills is prepared for
Management and for sales officials in
New York.
Community Fund Gains Momentum
Although the United Fund campaign in this community is just starting its first
year the Idea of giving “once for all” has a history that dates back to 1887.
^'^ited fund raising appeal for health and welfare agencies was held
years ago in Denver, Colorado, when 10 agencies got together in one campaign.
They raised more money that year at less cost than they had ever raised in their
separate campaigns, and the idea of united fund raising began to spread.
It was 26 years later in Cleveland, Ohio, that the principle of budgeting
was mtroduced so the goal would reflect the actual needs of each agency. A few
years later Rochester, N. Y., coined the name Community Chest and in 1928 the
Red Feather made its first appearance as a campaign symbol in New Orleans and
Duluth. Soon Red Feather banners were flying from coast to coast.
For a long time Community Chests were almost the only organizations conducting
annual campaigns to raise money for the support of local health, recreation and
welfare services. The Community Chest plan had eliminated multiplicity of cam
paigns and the competition and waste which occurred when each agency held its
own drive to raise funds.
Recently, however, the picture changed. Many communities began to encounter
problems as national appeals of increasing size held separate money-raising drives
outside the Community Chest. Contributors complained at the number of drives
they were being asked to support. They urged unification of as many appeals as
possible in one united community campaign.
The name of the campaigns may vary . . . Community Chest or Fund, United
Campaign or Appeal, Red Feather Drive ... but they still all stand for the principle
of united fund raising. Whatever the name, the “united way” is the way in more
than 1800 towns and cities.
