THE MILL WHISTLE
Seven
Company Movie
To Be Shown Soon
Of much interest to all employees of
^^^the Company will be the motion picture
“The Crest of Quality,” a film that was
made in our mills and New York show
rooms. This picture presents in detail
the story of our Fieldcrest products,
and is being used as a medium to carry
the story of Fieldcrest products to re
tail stores all over America.
Every employee should see how we
present our story to the people who
carry our goods to the consumer. In
short, the picture will give a step by
step story of the product in its raw
stage to the finished product as it is
offered to consumers in retail stores.
Since the picture was filmed in mills
here, there will be, of course, many
employees shown in the film, which will
give it added interest.
The picture will be shown in Field-
dale, Draper, Leaksville and Spray on
dates shown below. Watch the bulletin
boards for further announcements. Fore
men will be furnished with tickets to
be distributed to employees in the
Leaksville, Spray and Draper areas.

A proud Dad is Jasper Combs, of the Blanket Mill, surrounded by his three
boys, all of whom are in the Navy. The boys are Brantley, Nelson, and Alfred
Combs and all have seen a good deal of fighting these past three years. Incidentally,
two of the boys, Alfred and Brantley, met in a foreign country a few weeks ago,
marking the first time they had seen each other in 18 months. We’ll bet they had a
good time!
