J TECHNICAL SERVICES DIRECTOR Stan Ellington (right) examines a Fieidcrest “Morning Giory’’ bath towei made in 194Tand owned by a former empioyee, Roy Meadows (ieft). 35-Year-Old Bath Set Still In Good Shape! Most Fieidcrest empioyees will agree that the company markets iong iasting, high quaiity products. But one former empioyee has actuai proof this statement is true. Roy Meadows, a native of Eden who now iives in Hazelwood, Missouri, returned to his hometown recentiy for his 30th high school class re union. Thinking ahead about the nostaigic trip he was to make. Meadows decided to include a side visit to the company he once worked for with a surprise package — a 35-year-old bath set. Meadows received the bath set, including two towels, two washcloths and a bath mat, as a gift from Fieidcrest when he was top student in the Carding and Spinning vocational class as a tenth-grader at Leaks- ville High School in 1945. “My mother put the set away for me and I didn’t think any more about it until I returned home from the service in 1958 and she got it out for me,” he said. “It’s been in constant use since then and I thought some one in quality control at Fieidcrest might be interested in it because it’s still in pretty good condition. The washcloths did wear out about two years ago, though.” Employees at Fieldale report the bath set was one of the Morning Glory line made by Fieidcrest for Marshall Field and Company in 1941. Meadows worked for Fieidcrest as a teenager. His sister, Odessa Meadows Taylor, now works in the Burling Department at the Karastan Rug Mill and her husband, Maynard, is a fixer at Karastan. 25-Year Club Meeting Sef The annual Fieldale Towel Mill 25-Year Club meeting will be held oni urday, September 17, at 4 p.m., Fieldale Ball Park.
