and Laurelcrest portion in 1968. This combined facility now com

In 1962, a domestics facility was opened in Cleveland, Ohio, but
was closed in 1971. Its function was assumed by the Midwest Service
in Elgin, III., which opened in 1%7, and has 39,292 square feet of
space with a staff of 14.
The Dallas Service Center was opened in 1963, has a staff of 14
people and encompasses 61,494 square feet. The newest facility is
the Northeast Service Center, which was opened in Piscataway,
N. J., in 1965. It employs 12 people and contains 39,636 square feet
of space.
Two of the domestics service centers have recently installed new
computer systems which reliably and economically perform the
order entry and billing functions.
The new system was installed in the Los Angeles facility in July,
1975, and at the Northeast Service Center in January, 1976. This
ultra-modern system enables the service centers to handle large
numbers of orders during peak sale’ periods, assuring customers
of fast deliveries to their stores. Also, it is more accurate and pro
vides control of back orders to mills, and creates inventory control
reports not previously possible.
All of these Fieldcrest warehousing and shipping facilities are
designed to serve major accounts with fill-in quantities of basically
stocked merchandise, plus quantities of fringe items as well as total
quantities of most product lines for small retailers.
