Vol. XXI No. 7 Adams-Millis Corporation August, 1963
MEET YOUR SUPERVISOR
On June 10,
1963, Charles T.
Tuttle, superin
tendent of the
Finishing Depart
ment of the ladies'
hosiery division,
rounded out twenty-
five years of ser
vice with Adams-
Millis Corporation.
Starting in 1938 as
beat-out boy in the rri i
Boarding Depart- Charles Tuttle
ment, he rose rapidly through the
ranks to his present-day supervisory
position.
Charles T. Tuttle was born to
Flora Martin and Charles McKinley
Tuttle on April 9, 1921, in High Point,
North Carolina. He graduated from
High Point Central High School in 1938.
Just after graduation, he secured a day
job with Adams-Millis and attended
Jones Business College at night. In
the fall of the same year, he received
his first promotion--he became box
printer in the Folding Department.
There soon followed another of many
promotions; this time, the change was
to checker and packer in the Shipping
Department. World War II came along
in 1941 and, in the absence of the ship
ping clerk who went on military leave,
Charlie acted in that capacity, a job to
which he soon received a permanent
transfer. From there, it was but a
short step for him to the job of super
visor of the Folding, Transferring and
Shipping Departments. And, in Novem
ber of 1961, he was named superinten
dent of the Finishing Division, the title
he holds today.
Charles Tuttle's successful career
in hosiery manufacturing is not unique
in his family. His father before him
worked, for many years in the hosiery
industry and at the time of his death in
1952, was superintendent of the Finish
ing Department of Adams-Millis Cor
poration's Pointer plant on Grimes
Street.
During the war. Miss Louise Cole
of Aberdeen, N. C. , who was at that
time employed by the War Demobiliza
tion Records Branch in High Point,
struck Charlie's fancy and on October 1,
1944, she became ^rs. Charles Tuttle.
She was employed by Adams-Millis as
timekeeper in the Full Fashioned Knit
ting Department for fourteen years
prior to her resignation in 1959 to be
come receptionist in a local doctor's
office.
The Tuttles have no children; how
ever, their principal interest has been
in the next best thing--dogs. For many
years, they bred dachshunds and
beagles, which won ribbons in dog
shows in North and South Carolina,
Virginia and Tennessee. Only recently,
with mixed emotions, they found a new
home for their last pair of beagles.
The Tuttles live at 2500 North
Centennial Avenue in High Point and
are members of Main Street Methodist
Church where Charlie is on the Board
of Stewards and chairman of the Enter
tainment Committee of the Big Brothers
Class. He is a past president of the
Furniture City Kennel Club and a mem
ber of the High Point Golf Association.
His hobbies include hunting, fishing and
golfing.
