(Jim Pendry cont'd. )
Adams-Millis began in the boarding
room in 1927. Before boarding on the
hot metal forms, Jim placed socks on
boards, eight socks to a board, placed
the boards and socks in a screw press,
and turned on steam. Then, cold water
was run through the oven to bring down
the temperature so that the socks could
be removed.
For several years, Jim Pendry
was supervisor of the second shift in
the board room in Plants #1 and at the
Washington Street plant in High Point.
When the Washington Street plant was
closed in December of 1955, Pendry
was transferred to the stock room of
Plant #1. He was later transferred to
the new Kernersville plant.
In 1925, Jim Pendry was married
to Irene Corn. They have four sons,
all of whom have worked with Adams-
Millis,
Jim says his plans include part-
time work and spending some time on
a small farm he has bought near the
Blue Ridge Parkway.

GROUP INSURANCE
QUESTION: Will our group insurance
provide hospitalization for depen
dents over age 65?
ANSWER: Due to the broad coverage
of hospital, doctor's and other
medical expenses provided by the
Federal Medicare Program sub
stantially for all persons 65 or
over, our group insurance will not
provide hospitalization benefits
for employees nor dependents of
employees who have reached age
65.
Life insurance and sick benefits
will remain the same for em
ployees over 65 and the life insur
ance for dependents will remain
unchanged.
Employees whose husbands or
wives have attained age 65 should
notify their foremen so that the
changes can be made on the insur
ance records and so that the pre
miums can be adjusted accordingly.
