BEFORE AND AFTER PICTURE — Edith English, cur
rent safety inspector at Sherrod, displays two safety
posters made by Geneva Hoffner of the Pants Depart
ment. The posters illustrate the way some machines
appeared “before 1957” with spools and other items clut
tering the working area. The machine, free of unnecessary
objects and clean is the *‘after” picture. A campaign
toward keeping individual machines cleaner and neater
now is underway in the plants, with the shirt department
at Sherrod the first group to undertake the project as a
group. Operators in that department have been furnished
cloths to clean their machines each day and Ossie Wright,
safety director, said plans are to extend the program to
each department.
