MOVE AFFECTS 650 EMPLOYEES AND FAMILIES (Continued from page one) _ u warehouse for the company's fin ished products. The Chatham Manufacturing company will not build houses here for their Winston-Salem employees, but will depend on lo cal and private capital to take care of this matter. At first, it was said, many of the Winston employees will probably commute between Elkin and that city. Although complete plans are not yet ready for the new struc ture, it is believed that the build ing should be ready and the ac tual movement of machinery and equipment from Winston begun by November or December, Mr. Chatham told The Tribune. In addition to the many ad vantages of consolidating the two plants, the cooperation of Elkin and its citizens has been one of the reasons for the move, Mr. Chatham said, speaking highly of the satisfactory relations be tween the town and the company during the ' past. He said the move "will seem like coming home to me."' Although the consolidation of the two plants here has been rumored over the town for sev eral days, The Tribune officially broke the news to the community in an extra edition published Monday evening following the announcement by Mr. Chatham. Tlife Chatham Manufacturing company was founded by the late T. L. Gwyn and Alex Chatham, Sr., in the form of a little mill for the manufacture of woolen cloth well over a half century ago. The mill at that time was lo cated on the Elkin creek, just op posite the site where the old Elkin Shoe company building now stands. Only one loom was used, the wool being carded and spun by hand. The mill was in operation a number of years before the man ufacture of blankets was begun, and has'grown steadily until to day it occupies a commanding position in the manufacturing world. One who did much to build this great industry was the late Hugh Gwyn Chatham, father of the company's present head, Thurmond Chatham. Under his guidance and direction the plant grew steadily, and the Winston- Salem plant was constructed to operate in connection with the main plant here. Another official who deserves much credit for the success of the company Is the late Capt. G. T. Roth, who was for 45 years superintendent. Among others instrumental in the continued growth of the com pany are W. A. Neaves, vice-pres ident and general superintendent; T. M. Lillard, vice-president; Al bert Butler, vice-president, and Raymond Harris, superintendent of the Winston plant. Read Tribune Advertisements! Springtime Is Here Again!
