COMPANY ACQUIRES
ASHEBORO PLANT FOR
WIDER DIVERSITY
Another step in wider diversification
of products is the announcement
made recently by J. Spencer Love that
Burlington Mills has acquired an in
terest in Sunspun Manufacturing
Company of Asheboro, N. C. A state
ment made jointly by Mr. Love and
Jacque A4. Schloss and Paul C. Broch-
man, partners of Sunspun, announced
that Burlington Mills was scheduled
to take over operations about July 1
at which time Messrs. Brochman and
Schloss will join the Burlington or
ganization to manage the Sunspun
plant and merchandise its products.
Sunspun, established in 1940, was
originally designed to manufacture
chenille bedspreads, but since then
has for the most part produced frag
mentation aerial delivery, and navy
flare parachutes. In contrast to Bur
lington Mills’ contribution as a pro
ducer of all types of parachute fabrics,
Sunspun has been concerned with
sewing and finishing the end product
which in many cases may very likely
have been made from Burlington Mill
fabrics obtained through army and
navy procurement offices. Operations
will be reconverted to peacetime prod
ucts as soon as war schedules permit.
With the acquiring of interest in
Sunspun the Company now consists
of 47 plants located in North Caro
lina, Virginia, and Tennessee, manu
facturing many styles of rayon and
combination dress goods, drapery, up
holstery, and other types of jacquard
woven goods and hosiery including full
fashioned, seamless, anklets, and half
hose. The foreign division includes six
plants making hose and dress goods.
Two plants are in Cuba, one in
Mexico, one in Columbi.'>, and two in
Australia. Total employment in all
plants is approximately 17,000.

HARRIS CHAINS COW
Tom Harris, while standing on his
back porch one afternoon recently,'
noticed his neighbor’s cow escaping
from her stall. She immediately de
parted for parts unknown over the hill
on East Russell Street. Tom, quickly
sizing up the situation decided that
was entirely too many red points to be
running loose and immediately started
out in hot pursuit. He first sighted the
cow entering Wesley Place, so he
quickened his pace and by the time
he reached East Green Street he was
within a few feet of “Bossy”. Tlie peo
ple living along Green Street said they
were breaking all speed records for two
blocks back towards town. ITiey were
coming down the street neck and ncck,
when Tom, summoning all his
strength, made a beautiful flying tackle
and succeeded in catching “Bossy”
firmly in the nose. “Bossy” by this
time, being entirely winded, was
quickly subdued. Tom succeeded in
borrowing a piece of rope from a
passer-by and came triumphantly lead
ing his catch up Pershing Street to her
home. Let’s give three cheers for
“Cow-boy Tom”.
