Thompson MEET YOUR SUPERVISOR Keeping knitting machines and other equipment in the best of mechanical condi tion requires parts and repair services when needed. Devel opment of new pat terns requires new attachments, and these must be avail able immediately in order for our com pany to be first in the market. Adams-Millis Corporation main tains one of the most modern machine shops in the hosiery industry for mak ing machine parts and attachments-- not only for our plants in High Point, Kernersville and Mt. Airy, but for several other mills in this area as well. Supervisor of the machine shop since July 1, 1959, has been Robert S. Thompson, a man who has spent most of his adult life in the machinist's trade. Born in Davidson County on August 21, 1922, Bob Thompson at tended Thomasville and High Point City Schools, graduating from High Point Central High School in 1940. Up on his graduation, he enrolled in Jones Business College, attending dayclasses and working in the Shipping Department of Stehli Silk Mill at night. All went well until 1942 when World War II broke out and Bob entered the Army, seeing duty in Africa, Sicily and Italy. He was discharged in 1945 and return ed to High Point, securing a job as an apprentice machinist at Adams- Millis. After 11 years in the shop, he left our company to accept a position as foreman of Archdale Machine Shop, but soon after opened his own shop which he operated until his return to Adams-Millis as shop foreman in 1959. In 1941, Bob was married to Miss Hazel Floyd of High Point, his high school sweetheart. They have one daughter, Carol, who is presently a student at Woman's College in Greens boro, and who, last year, was chosen as a delegate to the National Girls' State meeting in Dallas; she was also a cheerleader and homecoming queen while attending Allen Jay School and elected "Miss Congeniality" in the Miss Archdale-Trinity Contest in 1963. The Thompsons have just recently moved into their new home on Corina Circle in the Archdale section. They are members of Green Street Baptist Church where Bob belongs to the Brotherhood Class. He is also a member of the Bush Hill Masonic Lodge in the Archdale-Trinity area. His favorite hobby is hunting.
