plant. Working in a new plant with
all the modern equipment will be a
real thrill. I am anxious to get start
ed there with all the fine employees
of Adams-Millis who will be working
with us, " Tatum said.
"Those loading docks are one of
the finest improvements; we have been
able to load only one truck at a time.
Now, we can load several trucks with
no waiting. This will eliminate the
afternoon rush. Naturally, we are
happy with the huge stock room, but
I wish it were larger. We will need
all the space we can find. "
"The plant is nice and clean and
we intend to keep it that way, " Tatum
