Ludie Mae, in h er supervisor’s uniform, is shown in center, opening one of her gifts. Record-Breaking Sales Reported; Outlook Bright A study, or analysis, of market conditions leads Floyd D.

Price ceilings have been re moved from work clothing, he pointed out. Retail sales are up, and a survey conducted by the Laundry Institute showed that the inventory of clothing in homes is New Book Added To Anvil Brand Library “Administering Changes,” by Harriet O.

Lawrence, both professors and as sociated with the human relations research group of the Harvard Business School, has been added to the Anvil Bi'and library, ac cording to Reitzel Morgan. The book deals with the human effects of technological change on the day to day operations of a fac tory, says Reitzel. The first part takes a close look at communica tion between individuals involved in production. The second part is on the difficulties of relationships between the different engineering groups and the production super visors. extremely low. This accounts for the phenomenal growth of 3-hour to 24-hour service by dry cleaners and laundries. Mehan’s talk was followed by a panel discussion in which he, Jack Rives, Paul Frye and Dwight Craun took part. A question and answer period with Sales Director Hugh Webster as moderator brought the sales meeting to a close.
