Changes Make The World .“No business of any kind can keep on indefinitely doing what ^ IS doing now. It must change. I am not pleading with you to ^ake changes. I am telling you you’ve got to make them — not ^ecause I say so, but because old Father Time will take care of you if you don’t change. Advancing waves of other people’s pro gress sweep over the unchanging man and wash him out.” ing on truck is Roger Willey. Additional Facilities Needed For Bedspread Expansion New facilities related to the expan sion of Fieldcrest’s bedspread operation are pictured on this page. The first phase of the over-all expansion will cost approximately $41/2-million and is scheduled for completion by the end of this year. The program involves the purchase of 80 additional looms, a large addition to the weave room, and additions to the twister room and dyehouse at the Bedspread Mill. Also in connection with the expansion, an addition was built to the west side of the warehouse portion of the Bed spread Finishing Mill, and equipment and personnel were increased in the Cutting and Sewing Department to gain increased sewing capacity for bedspreads and draperies. In another part of the expansion, the old bleach house equipment was re moved from the Blanket Finishing Mill and the space will be used for a new, enlarged jig dyeing department for bedspreads. Five new, enclosed automatic jigs were purchased and are in operation. The eight existing jigs in the old jig dyeing department are to be relocated in the new area soon. The old sheet finishing range was removed and a new bedspread drying range installed. PAY YOURSELF Charles F. Kettering [FD Mo SEE YOUR CREDIT UNION NDAY, august 2 5, 1 9 6 9
