Eight THE MHX WHISTLE July 3, 1944 RIGHT OFF THE FLOOR NEWS OF OUR NEW YORK OFFICES By “WIG”—Pinch-Hittine For A. S. KRAMER Karastan: 235 Fifth Avenue Domeitic*: IS Worth Street Personal Gladys Schmidt advertises, “Wanted one he-man. Must be a Tarzan or Superman type. No others need apply. Correction!!!! Wanted, one man any kind!” Song of the Week Deep in the Heart of Textiles—by Margaret Smith. Get Well Department We are all sorry to learn Alice Coogan’s Mother fractured her arm, and hope she gets well quickly. Visitor Joe Lindsay returned from a shopping spree—new hat, new suit, new shoes, but wearing same socks. Patriotism or Thrift? Gertrude (Trudy) Benziger and Bea- tric (Beaddy) Kastner returned from a week’s vacation—recognizing the paper shortage, they mailed cards to their friends with both their signatures on them. Return of the Conquering Heroes Messrs. A. S. Thompson and Ed Moulton have just returned from “Fieldcresting” through the Southeast and west. Messrs. Ivie and Pierce leave next, and when they return, it can be said ‘“F i e 1 d c r e s t” covered the entire country. . Tugboat Annie We have just seen a picture of Randy Johnson holding on to a wheel of a ferry-boat crossing the Hudson river.. .it seems the boat rocked a bit, but Randy was prepared, he donned a life jacket and a pair of water wings. And Speaking of Boats. . Dink Singer’s “yacht”, or “rowboat”, oh well, a raft by any other name, is resting comfortably at the bottom of the Sound. Dink says he didn’t know he bought a submarine. Souvenirs The shell bracelets worn by Ann Matvick were sent her from the South west Pacific Area, and they’re mighty neat looking. “D” Day at W'orth Street Talk about invasion .... June 15th, the Karastan Sales Dept, led by Major General Raventos, aided by Marine Sgt. Bob Arnst successfully established a beach head at Worth St. They listen ed to Lt. Gen. Arthur S. Thompson’s discourse on Sheets, Bedspreads, Blan kets, and Towels, and P. W. (post war) Whitcomb explained his ideas then they all retreated to fox holes, built by Longchamps, and thereafter the battle was successful. Promotion Stanley Kramer made Yeoman 3rd class. Is this higher than a Second Looey Randy, or lower? We couldn’t ask Wilbur as he would start talking about when he wore a Derby in the Navy....his rating was one step high er than a G. I. on lat—e detail. The Woman Behind the Man Behind the Gun For keeping up the morale of our armed forces, Evelyn Tackier was pre sented with a Good Conduct and Paci fic Theatre of War Campaign Ribbon by a G. I. Joe, or to be more exact, G. I. Eddie. A salute to , you,' Evelyn, and keep up the good work. Oh, to he Young Again Buster Wigmore recovering from an appendectomy, and sitting up receiving gifts from the girls at Worth St.... boy, what I wouldn’t give....oh well, rave on! My Day (With Apologies to Eleanor) Today I was at our mills. A Miss Ruth Meaker from The Emporium, San Francisco accompanied me — courtesy of Mr. Ivie. (Personally I thought it a swell idea). Some of the interesting things we saw and heard were: Joe Ragsdale. Thought now saw everything.... Wig bringing ladies to Spray... .all precedents have now been broken. Two fellows cutting Glenwood blan kets thru the center and scissors always meeting at end of cut. Mr. Tucker explained trouble we all go to in order to have proper grade of cotton. Joe Lindsay, Old Curly Locks, giving an entire morning to show us thru Blanket, Sheet, Bedspread Mills and doing a fine job. (of course the young lady was the incentive.. . .not me.) The disappointed look on Dummy’s face when he was introduced to Wig. He seemed to figure he looks crazier than he writes, and this also goes for all the folks who wondered, and won dered, and just wondered — what is the Whistle coming to? J. F. Wilson his usual self — the height of courtesy at all times— need one say more? J. H. Ripple — showing Miss Meaker the Swag Towel Looms and saying how tough production was, with Woody Lambert backing him up. (By the way Woody, I told her you were married — she just sighed.) The young ladies at Karasten doing the rug carving, which was quite im pressive. Well, I could go on and on talking about my day but I must rush off to catch my train if Cynthia Sherwood ever gets the tickets — see you all next issue. Victory Garden Pests (Not Insects) Dink Singer’s garden grows every thing, but he don’t know a carrot from a scallion. The girls asked Dink to bring in something and he ran that morning, pulled at something green and in he came — yes, scallions. Ask Mary at Switchboard. Two customers fainted in a phone booth — Velma Minter had some — we had to start the air condi tioning, and that too, broke down. Very quiet afternoon, no customers came in at all. Vacationing Our Mary, and Agnes Malloy. (Oh, Agnes, what postcards — tch! tch!) Paging Sherlock Holmes Mike was expecting a package from Macy’s, which Dr. Watson (Dink) swears was received, but said package never did find its way to Flynn. The best detecting couldn’t produce the bot tle, which Mr. Flynn said contained hair tonic, and thus remains another unsolved mystery. Welcome Home George Stewart, our red-headed Flash Gordon, King of all he surveys on the second floor, is utilizing his vacation at 82 Worth St. and is Alma happy! - . -VJ Here are three excellent reasons for the power behind the Sales Office Towel throne — occupied by Arthur Thompson. They are: Arthur, Jr., Audrey, and Robert Thompson, and no finer looking trio have ever appeared on our pages. V . . . — “Are you a good golf player?” “Yes and no.” “What do you mean?” “Yes, I am no good.” V . . . — Buy .. Sell. . Swap FOR SALE—Used coal burning Heatro- la. See J. B. Lamar, 6 Ash street.
