Reporters: WeVe^^omplete^
“rvi^i °the Blanketeer-and
since my term was very short and
cannot be counted as a standby
?or the, first year of our paper,
may I say you’ve been a success.
Just as it was the first exper
ience as Editor for our Editor-m-
Chief, Associate Editors, etc.,
it was our first attempt as re
porters. The News we have given
Cn’t been all that it might have
been tho good as far as weve
gone. For instance, I could have
?old you that each day the mill
runs you could place beds si
by side for seven miles and v/alk
along with either a double or sin
gle blanket and put one on each
bed That’s a lot of beds and it
tSes a lot of walking for our
‘slsmen to put the blankets
You may get discouraged some
times as we all do and wish you
could be the boss and sit with
your feet on a desk
easy but if you were given that
nost just for a few days with the
worry and responsibility of selling
In Sese blankets every day you
would be so glad to be happy m
your own duty. Last week our
Bosses and Salesmen were all ov
er the country, from coast t.o
coast, from gulf
week they are ^^^ew York wit
Mr Chatham and Mr. Butler t y
ing to sell to the buyers from
over the country who have gath
ered there for the Linen Dom^sUc
Show. We have a picture of their
feet on a desk, but in reality they
Ire shuffling on floors, streets and
^xtiey must know the quality ot
blanket needed by each buyer and
have samples of each of ^ese o
hand. It is our job to see tha
the blankets are made and fm-
tahed ^rfectly and
tn qell each is important. Tney

ELKIN OFFICE
Still we work—finding very lit
tle time for play. Nobody ever
goes any place or does anything
worth writing about it seems. Ex
cept, of course, we take in all the
ball games. And do we get ex
cited! Wait until you see John
Jones whooping and yelling and
banging everybody near him in
the back. When Elkin makes a
home run our paymaster just
about runs wild. Well, anyway we
all owe a lot to our splendid ball
team for the exciting entertain
ment they have and are giving us.
If the writer remembers cor
rectly, Cone Cox went fishing in
New River sometime way back in
July, and—such “fish stories” he
did tell. All about holding the
seine way up above the water and
great big bass, carp, catfish, etc.,
just deliberately “high diving”
right into the seine. Ask Cone
about it. He can almost tell this
one without even a grin.
Mr. Jim Lillard was away from
the office for a few days last
week, sick in bed. Mr. Jim said
they hid his clothes and thought
they would force him to take a
nice, long rest—but, he sneaked
out of bed, when no one was look
ing, found said clothes and rushed
down to the office to find out if
his job was still here, etc. We are
all glad to have Mr. Jim back
with us and hope he won’t be sick
again.
Mr. Caldwell came in from the
wool section of Virginia and was
in his office today long enough
to give the writer some extra
work to do. Nice man!
Little Jimmie King Lillard, son
of Mr. and Mrs. Jim Lillard en
tertained the following guests at
dinner on his tenth birthday Sun
day; Dr. D. W. Holcomb and
Miss Margaret Edwards, of Win
ston-Salem; Miss Emily Hagler,
of Euchee, Tenn.; Misses Thor-
burn and Sarah Kelly Lillard, and
Rosamond Neaves, of Elkin.
