Eight THE MILL WHISTLE April 15, 1946 RIGHTOFFTHEFLOOR NEWSi OF OUR NEW YORK OFFICES By "WIG” Karastan: 295 Filth Avenue Domestics: 88 Worth Street Betty and Her Turkey Do you remember the little girl who when she opened one of her file drawers, fell into it? Of course, we mean little Betty Mac. Well, she bought a turkey weighing 12 pounds. Betty weigh'; 13, wringing wet. In going home lugging the big bundle, fell, and no one knew who to pick up first, the bundle or Betty, they were both the same size. We all hope in cooking the turkey, Betty doesn’t slip, because the wrong thing will go into the oven and it won’t be the same tur key. Typist Note: Well, I alius said, Betty was sweet enough to eat. Advice Going To Waste If this guy Ducey don’t keep quiet, he’ll ruin everyone’s new home. George Young Jr. has just purchased a new home, and of all things, Ducey was heard telling him how to have his painting and decorating done. Good grief, let’s get Ducey on the road quick because Bob Mather has ideas for a new apartment and we all want to be careful who ad vises him. Eye Cures When the boys return from the road, they will have something to feast their eyes on... first, there’s Lillian Sutton, our new “yes please” gal. Blanche our former operator, left the company due to illness and we’re all sorry to see her go. We also welcome Florence Bell, a new clerk, who is also easy on the eyes. And there’s Jaclyn Bauerline, Mr. Gru- nau’s new secretary, and last but not least, Sarah Andreano, all of which simply adds up to hubba, hubba!!! And to make the gals happy, there’s Bill Kane in the stockroom, replacing Dunbar Chase. Congratulations The Sales Department of the Manu facturing Division all join in congratu lating our genial Vice-president, Mr. Luther Hodges, on his election as Pres ident of New York City Rotary Club. More Congratulations We here in the Sales Office were quite interested in the marvelous job, the Fieldale High School basketball team was doing. We were kept well informed by our mutual friend. Rip, and they sure could beat some of our teams up here if they were ever matched. But fellows, to be licked by “Cannon Mills”.... dear, dear. You know they are only a few doors away from us on Worth street and now when we go to lunch or leave at night, we use the rear door. Singer’s Midgets Are Here You should see our Bedspread De partment. .. no one is taller than 4’2”... Manager, secretary and assistant, al though the assistant ranks more in the 5x5 class. We found it just as easy to jump over any of them as it is to walk around them. Poor Annie i Our Ann Matvick, secretary to Mr. Moulton is out ill. Just before she was taken ill, she was heard to say she was giving up Wig for Lent. Typist Note: I alius say that gal has a sense of humor... and what’s more, she’s got sense. Beauty Contests I think its about time we had another Beauty Contest because we have some • fine talent and I notice some nice look ing gals in some of the Mill Whistle pic tures, and if we don’t have it soon, the gals we now have will wind up in an old timer’s contest. Typist Note: I wouldn’t speak of old timers contests if I were you Wig... and you know why, heh, heh. The Motion Picture Your humble reporter has spent some time with the showing of our movie, so much that I feel I know some of the fel lows • and girls as I have seen them so often. Fay Warren sewing towels, etc. Some of the folks I visited with would like to have the soft snap those two gals have sitting down inspecting sheets. And say, you two birds who were cutting bedspreads, I lost two buck on you, I said that you were so expert that the shears always meet in the middle when you cut and what happened, tiie second time—you missed. I demand a refund. Wedding Bells Department Madlyn Rossi takes the step Easter Sunday, April 21st. Avis Jamerson, sometime early in May and we wish both of them the very best of everything. Stardust Joanie Blake has stardust in her eyes these days. Her “Herb” is back in the States and will be home for the Easter holidays. The Morgue If you don’t know where this place is, ask any of the boys who come up from the mill. It is some hotel, nice, clean and quiet... so quiet that they walk around in the lobby dead three days before they bury them. Gramercy Park Hotel is the name and its a joke, son, a joke. Typist Note: What’s a zombie, bub? How to Get A Boy Friend Bee Kastner, one of our very quiet girls, reported to Dr. Nosit for her ner vous condition... er, we mean nerves. It seems so quiet, poor Bea is going around without a boy friend, so he pre scribed this nerve medicine... boy, is she doing all right. . . out every night now. Rotary Honors Mr. Hodges Mr. Luther H. Hodges, Vice-president of Marshall Field and Company and General Manager of the Manufacturing Division, was recently honored by the President of the Rotary Clubs of the World by being designated as an Official Observer at the Security Council meet ing of the United Nations Organization.
