NEW HIGHWAY ASSET
TO HAYESY1LLE AND MURPHY
The new highway that now connects Hayesvilie with Mur
phy is certainly an improvement for both communities. No
longer does one have to swing around curves to make this trip.
With more and more cars on the road today and the desire
o* people to want to travel more, this new highway helps lead
the way.
It is the fond hope of this editor that this new link will bring
our two communities closer together not only in travel but in
mutual undertakings as well
It
So, welcome to Hayesvilie and we're glad you are nearer to
us by way of travel.

Berkshire Knitting Mills 5th Anniversary
open house
Friday, November 9, 1956 ^ 5 to 8:30 P.M.
Five years ago, in 1951, Berkshire Knitting Mills built a completely new, modern full-fashioned hosiery mill -
in Andrews. With only a handful of help from the parent mill in Reading, Pennsylvania, to train the first
employees, the mill's production and payroll have grown steadily ever since. We are deeply grateful to our
350 co-workers. Thfcir skill has enabled us to maintain our world-wide reputation for Quality workmanship.
Their teamwork has enabled us to produce our thirty millionth stocking in five short years at the Andrews milL '
We sincerely appreciate the warm reception we were given by everyone who made us feel-right-at-home
here the very first day and each succeeding day. We are pleased, too, that our payroll has contributed
to the economic "well-being of this community we like so well. To sum it all up, we agree wholeheartedly
with the song writer who said: "Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina".
