Warehouse Personnel
(Ed. Note: This article was
written in order to help the
employees of the different de
partments to become better
acquainted with one another.)
When you go to the Store
Room across the tracks with a
requisition for machinery parts,
tools, oils or what have you,
are you able to address the
stock clerks by name? Do you
know about their personalities
and their hobbies? Have you
ever considered them as in
dividuals with particular char
acteristics?
For instance, not many peo
ple know that our storekeeper,
Augustine Washington Tuck
er, Jr. (“Gus” to you) was born
in Shanghai, China, and lived
there during his childhood. Af
ter coming to America, he at
tended the University of Vir
ginia where he received his de
gree in engineering. Later he
was affiliated with J. Sirrene
& Company of Greenville and
came to Brevard during the
construction of Ecusta. The
climate around here and the
trout in our mountain streams
were so much to Mr, Tucker’s
liking that he left Sirrene &
Company and became a perma
nent employee of the Ecusta
Paper Corporation. Beware:
All Rainbow Trout! For Gus
likes the out-of-doors and is as
ardent a fisherman as can be
found in Western North Caro
lina. He is never more content
ed than when he is fishing in a
mountain stream. As a sideline
to his fishing Gus spends some
of his spare time raising shrub
bery. Gus, Mrs. Tucker and
Gus 3rd make their home on
Park Avenue in Brevard.
Did you know that Harvey
Leonard Souther, better known
as “Benny” keeps a detailed
record of every article that
goes in and out of the stock
room, and that he was one of
the first employees in the
Ecusta Store Room ? Mr. South
er is a native of Transylvania
County and was with the Govt.
Forestry Service before coming
to Ecusta. Benny is an excel
lent sportsman with a particu
lar fondness for baseball. He
is a star player on one of the
Inter - Departmental baseball
teams. Mr. Souther can also be
seen often at the bowling al
leys where he can chalk up a
score as good as the next one.
The easiest way to attract
Receiving Clerk Harry Blake’s
attention is to mention dogs or
guns. He says his favorite oc
cupations are “working and
hunting”, and he hunts “any
thing from rabbits to bears”.
One of the plant’s Beau Brum-
mels, he can be seen driving
the girls around the country
side most any day. Incidentally?
Mr. Blake and Mr_ Souther
are brothers-in-law. A very
congenial and friendly person.

GUESS WHO? Charles “Whitey” Russell
Mil
Harry hails from Selica, and
once you make his acquaint
ance you won’t easily forget
him.
A native North Carolinian,
Mr. James F. Aycock was an
experienced electrician and
tool room man with Hunting
ton and Gary before coming to
Ecusta. Now he is an indis
pensable member of the stock
room force, being directly re
sponsible for filling requisitions
that come in from the various
departments.
The newest employee in the
store room is Bob Peckham, of
Biltmore Forest, Asheville, N.
C., who has been here only a
month. However, he has al
ready entered into activities
wholeheartedly and has made
many friends. He can often be
seen playing ping pong on the
cafeteria porch until the last
minute and then dashing off to
work as the whistle blows. Bob
is a former student of Wash
ington and Lee University, so
here is naturally a keen sense
of rivalry between him and Gus
Tucker. They have already
made their bets on this season’s
Washington & Lee-University
of Virginia football game.
If a man does not know to
what port he is steering no
wind IS favorable to him—
Senaca.
