Completes 40 Years
MRS. JOSIE C. WICKHAM
Mrs. Josie C. Wickham, an employee
of the Sheet Sewing Department at the
Bleachery, marked her 40th anniver
sary of continuous service with the
Company on September 20. Mrs. Wick
ham has worked at the Bleachery con
tinuously since 1918, practically all of
the time on inspecting-folding jobs.
President Harold W. Whitcomb visited
her at the mill Friday and presented her
with the Fieldcrest 40-year emblem, a
gift and a congratulatory letter.
Born at Dodson in Patrick county,
Va., Mrs. Wickham first worked at the
Bleachery in 1916. She left the Company
after a short while but came back to
the Bleachery on September 20, 1918,
and has continuous service since that
time.
Mrs. Wickham’s personnel record
Towel Mill Honors
Its Quality Leaders
Top quality weavers and top loom-
fixers at the Towel Mill for the most re
cent periods of record are shown below.
The “Weavers of the Week” are those
with the lowest per cent of seconds with
respect to the standards for the various
loom groups.
The top loomfixers are determined
through a combination of low seconds
and high loom efficiency on their re
spective sections.
The Towel Mill began the weaver
quality recognition program in April,
1956, and started the loomfixer program
about one year later. Some of the names
on the lists could almost be called “reg
ulars” although new names show up
frequently, indicating that there is keen
competition among the members of the
department.
