Burlington Industries Reviews
Record 1966 Physical Year
Greensboro, N. C. Bur
lington Industries, Inc., com
pleted a fifth consecutive year
of record sales and earnings
during 1966, with sales reaoh
ing an all-time high of $1.37
billion, up 4.4 per cent over
1865, and net earnings up 12.4
per cent to $77 million.
Charles F. Myers, Jr., Bur
lington president, states in the
company's annual report now
going to more than 32,000
■hareholders, that the year
also brought record capital
spending of $159 million to
expand and modernize pro
duction facilities.
The chief executive of the
leading textile firm noted that
"at the present time many of
our markets are adversely af
fected by the uncertain out
look for the 1967 economy,"
but added that "the American
consumer will continue to
6pend a steady percentage of
rising personal income for ap
parel and home furnishings
areas that represent about 95
per cent of Burlington's sales.'
Growing textile imports, Mr.
Myers pointed out, continue to
be a problem for the indus
try.
"We believe that the desire
of our country to assisrt un
derdeveloped and low - wage
nations through trade must be
weighed carefully against oth
er considerations," he said.
"For example, the textile and
apparel industries together
employ 2.3 million people—
about 12 per cent of the total
U. S. manufacturing employ
ment of these -and other Am
erican workers must be con
sidered."
"We strongly believe," Mr. t
Myers said, "that new initi
ative must be provided by our
government to achieve more
equitable world trade in tex
tiles and textile products."
Burlington operates 125
plants in 15 states, eigljt for
eign countries and employs
some 69.600 persons. It com
pleted six new manufacturing
plants during 1966 and in ear
ly 1967 will occupy a new
research center near its head
quarters in Greensboro.

'Fashion Kiddle' Is These Of
Burlington Industries Spring
Style Show For Nation's Press
New York, N. Y. Janua
ry 4, 1967 More than 200
newspaper fashion editors
from throughout the nation
were guests of Burlington In
dustries here today at a spe
cial showing of spring ready
to-wear fashions in Burlington
fabrics, held at New York's
Plaza Hotel.
The show, with Ed McMahon
of NBC-TV's "Tonight Show"
as guest commentator, was
keyed to the age-old fashion
riddle: "do women dress for
men, themselves or other wo
men?"
The solution, say Burling
ton fashion experts, is as clear
as the mystery of woman,
varied as her personality and
varied as her peronality and
her busy modern life. . such
as for Status, for Chic, for
Understatement, for fun, for
Herself and for Men. And,
fortunately, thanks to the tex
tile and apparel industries of
today, she has the clothes to
match her every need, whim
or fancy.
The Burlington show featur
ed clothing for women, men
and children, from couture
creations by name designers
to smart popular-price designs
by the largest ready-to-wear
houses.
Burlington divisions parti
cipating in the Fashion Riddle
included Atwater Throwing
Co., The Adler Co, Burling
ton Greige Sales Co., Bur
lington - Balfour Mills, Bur
lington Throwing Co., Bur

Robert Summers
Shewhoat Actor
An Athlete
If handsome Showboat ac
tor Robert Summers looks
more like an athlete than an
actor, there's a reason.
Bob loves the outdoors and
excells in horseback riding,
swimming, football, baseball,
track, tennis, waterskiing,
boating, canoeign, badminton,
camping, fishing, hunting, hi
king, bicycling and scooting
around in sport cars.
When he was signed by the
American Scene Dinner The
atres Inc. for its production
of "Any Wednesday" for the
; Showboat Dinner Theatre
near Friendship Airport, he
had visions of spending his
days cavorting in sportmans
like manner in the sunny
South.
Skies haven't been all-sun
ny since he arrived to appear
as Cass Henderson opposite
Carol McKinley, but he has
managed
Witn his pretty wife of two
years, Linda, he has been
horseback riding several times
With another member of the
Any Wednesday" cast, Dana
Hardwick, he has spent act
ive hours on the tennis court.
Bob fought the urge to be
a professional actor until 1960,
ihen decided he never would
oe happy until he gave it a
.ry. He had a taste of acting
in 1956 with the Youngstown
Playhouse in Ohio and had
never lost xL
So, after college he spent
three years at the Boston Uni
versity Graduate School of
Theatre, then heading for the
big town.
He acted with the Brook
lyn Academy of Music and
the American Theater Com
pany in Princeton in 1964.
From the Charles Studio
Group in Boston, he moved
to the famous Provincetown
Playhouse, appearing in many
leading roles.
The following year, he ap
peared at the North Shore
Music Tent in Beverly, Mass.,
the McCarter Theatre Reper
tory Company in Princeton
and the Great Lakes Shakes
peare Festival in Cleveland
Unlike many young actors
in the theatre. Summers is
not dead set on becoming a
"star." One has to sacrifice
too many personal things in
order to do that, he feels.
Summers' future, he hopes,
will be in the blossoming
field of regional theatre. "It
is the coming thing," he said
"It will grow. And it is a
gracious way of working as
an actor. That is where true
satisfaction in my career will
lie/'
Meanwhile, he is giving
true satisfaction to audiences
for "Any Wednesday," to con.
tinue at the Showboat Din
ner Theatre through January
15. Critics have praised him
and audiences are applauding
their approval of his acting
in the play which Time maga
zine calls "One of the fun
niest, most delightful comedies
in decades,"

A Record 2,532,000 Registrations
Mailed By Motor Vehicle Dept.
RALEIGH -- The largest
bulk mailing in the history
of the North Carolina Depart
ment of Motor Vehicles took
place Wednesday, December
21. when 2 million 532 thous
and registration renewal cards
for '57 were turned over to
the Raleigh Post Office.
A miniature mountain of
ma.i bags weighing more than
80-thousand pounds was load
ed onto mail trucks for de
livery to every registered mo
tor vehicle owner in North
Carolina. The registration
cards must be presented when
the owner purchases his '67
license tags.
The postage bill for the
huge mailing will total 73-
thojsand dollars, says W. D.
Cox. Director of Supply and
Service for the Motor Vehi
cles Department. A special
bulk mailing rate results in
the saving of 20 - thousand
dollars under the regular four
cents per letter rate. The reg
istration renewal cards are
sorted and bagged according
to the city or town to which
they are addressed.
Addressograph machines in
the basement of the Motor
Vehicles Building printed the
more than 2 and one-half mil
lion cards. Miss Foy Ingram's
Registration Division supervis
ed preparation of the cards
which are mailed a few days
before the beginning of the
new year. 1467 lirem tags go
PUBLISHEfihJBJURSDAT
on sale the first working day
after January 1.
Another new record in vehi
cle registration will be set
for 1966, says Miss Ingram,
By Decemer 31, the final fig
ures are expected to total a
bout 2 million. 600-thousand.
Registration in '65 totaled 2
million, 409-th ousand.
Cox says the registration
card mailing is timed each
year not to interfere with the
Postoffice Christmas rush. By
December 21, the Postoffice
has passed the peak of its
Christmas mail handling, be
said.
Although the more than 2
and one-half million registra
tion cards comprise the larg
est single mailing by the Mo
tor Vehicles Department,
Cox's Supply and Service Di
vision handles an additional
2 million, 600-thousand pieces
of mail yearly. The Depart
ment's annual postage bill to
tals approximately 425 thous
and dollars.
Cox reports that the mail
sent out from the Motor Veh»»
cles Department accounts for
more than seven percent of
the Raleigh Postoffice's annu
al revenue.
