ELKIN MILL
DYE HOUSE
The Dye House is getting to be
one of the swankiest departments
in the whole place. Just you wait
until they get that new paint job
linished, and then drop around
to see us.

a stay of several days at Myrtle
Beach and other points South.

dayS;
We welcome “Maizie” Hall to
our department. “Maizie” says he
likes the Dye House alright, ex
cept that he gets his feet wet.
And he hadn’t had them wet in
years.
Guy Hinson says that the new
water cooling rig is just fine, but
if some big bloke doesn’t keep
his dirty paws off the top of that
shiny white porcelain fountain
he is going to squirt hot water at
him instead of cold.
The new laboratory building is
almost ready to be occupied.
Your reporter strolled into it the
other day, and almost ran out in
a fright, how did we know the
thing had to be painted dead
black inside. Mr. Howard Hatch
rays that it is painted that way
to he can match colors perfectly.
Well, we will let it go at that, but
personally we do not like black,
and always will.
