DUNGAREES
There is an art to seasoning
A pair of dungarees,
To soften up the sturdy seat
And limber up the knees.
They must divide with easy stride
And bear triumphant traces
Of hurtling the neighbor’s
fence
Or sliding into bases.
They must be limp where
laundering
Precipitated ravels,
And every seam across the beam
Should testify to travels.
They are not ripe for wearing
Till Mother frowns with pleas.
And that’s the time they’re broken
in,
Those good old dungarees.

POEM
By Shirley Wright
Dungaree Dept.
If somewhere along the way I fal
ter my step
And if I’ve no courage to carry on
Lord, I cry to Thee for help.
I find no strength but your
strength in trouble and despair;
I pray. Lord, give me your hand
In silence. I’ll find you there.
If you will tarry through the
night
And when tomorrow is come
I’ll walk the way much straighter
than when I first begun.
Sewing Up Sales

Anvil-Tractor Brand Salesmen
wound up a banner selling year
in 1955 and when the dust has
settled from all their traveling,
three men wound up leading the
field.
Anvil and Tractor Brand sales
men each month are rated as to
the total amount of sales they
make and as to the percentage of
a quota set for their territory,
which they meet.
Hugh Webster and “Pete” Pey
ton explain that these two meth
ods afford a true picture for gaug
ing a salesman’s achievements.
That is, a salesman may lead in
total sales, but if another sales
man who perhaps does not cover
as active territory, meets a higher
percentage of his quota, this
shows that he is doing a good
job, too.
In Tractor Brand for 1955 Rob
ert Morow copped both records—
in total sales and in quota
achievement. Robert lives at 809
Morris Street here and covers
Eastern and Central North Caro
lina. He has been with the firm
since June, 1953.
Richard Robotham of New Jer
sey led Anvil Brand sales in
quantity of sales for 10 of the 12
months in 1955. He covers New
Jersey and part of Pennsylvania
and has been with Anvil Brand
since January, 1941.
Leading the most months in
Anvil Brand sales in percentage
of s^les against quota was Nathan
MORROW
|> Weisberg of Detroit, Mich., who
covers that state. He was high
man three months. Robotham
was close behind in this compe
tition, too, however, as he led two
months in quota of sales.
The only other two men who
took first place in total sales for
Anvil Brand in 1955 were Charles
B. Ashley of Beckley, W. Va.,
and Norton B. Gilmer of Win
chester, Ky., who took top place
one month each.
