PAINTERS DO IMPORTANT WORK HERE AT ECUSTA
Masons, Painters,
Millwrights, Oilers
Important To Plant
This is the concluding article of
the feature story about Ecusta’c
important Maintenance Depart
ment In our former issues we have
been dealing with the different de
partments or shops, their locations,
and the respective part they play in
the job of keeping the mill running.
In this concluding part we will deal
with several groups of skilled work
ers who are not confined to depart
ments but who work all over the
mill property wherever they may
be needed.
Masons
We have one group of these skill
ed workers known as the Masons.
It is the task of these masons to
take care of all kinds of brick work
whether it be repair work or re
modeling, or altering of old work.
Also any cement work that is done
within the plant is handled by the
masons. Jesse Gossett is their fore
man and they are: Coy K.. Brown,
Cecil King, Joe Wright, Jim Bum
garner, W. A. Cline, Thomas Young
and C. E. Cochrane,
Painters
J. S. Whitaker is foreman of the
painters. He has several painters in
his crew and their job is to keep the
mill painted. This means that all
of the hundreds of doors and win
dows throughout the plant must
be kept painted at all times so as
to preserve them. All of the walls
and ceilings must also be kept paint
ed as well as the equipment con
tained therein. All new or repaired
or salvaged equipment must be
painted. The department also
boasts of an excellent sign painter
R. W. Pace who incidentally painted
all of the signs for the Ecusta pic
nic.
The other painters besides Fore
man Whitaker and R. W. Pace are
as follows: T. B. Allison, L. A. Lem
mons, C, S, Smith, Rufus C. Orr, R,
