the best liked employees in the
plant. He has just reached his 65th

his looks and physical condi

he will be working at Ecusta for
•tiany more years to come.

at Pelzer and Greenville and took
a course with the International
Correspondence school.
His first job was in a foundry
lifting sand. He also worked in
Atlanta, Ga., and Pelzer, S. C., and
"'.as at Balfour Mills as chief en
gineer for 17 years.
He is married and has five chil-
two daughters and three
sons; Mrs. H. F. Hawthorne, of An-
•lerson, S. C.; Emma Lou Heaton,
Hendersonville; George Benson
Heaton, Haskell Heaton, who is
employed in the Machine Room
