Rumor Was Not True;
Store To Remain Open
Misunderstanding concerning the Em
ployees Store was cleared up this week
when the Company announced that the
store is open for business on its regular
schedule. Rumors that the store was to
be discontinued after November 30 are
untrue. Company official said.
The rnisunderstanding is believed to
have come from a statement by James
L. Palmer, president of Marshall Field
& Company, who said Field’s would
discontinue employee discount privi
leges at the retail store in Chicago after
November 30. This applies only to
Fieldcrest employees who have been
buying at a discount at the Chicago re
tail store. Mr. Palmer made no refer
ence to the Employees Store in Spray.
During the period the mills were
taking inventory, the Employees Store
likewise was closed for inventory in
connection with sale of the property.
The store re-opened Monday, October
5 and continues to operate on its regular
schedule.
