At left, Fieldcrest Mills truck arrives at Los Angeles warehouse; at right, Davis
Petty, warehouse manager; Homer Fain and Roy Sawyers, drivers on the first trip,
stand beside truck while automatic blankets are unloaded at warehouse.
When the Company inaugurated
weekly deliveries by truck to our Field
crest warehouse in Los Angeles and the
Karastan warehouse in San Francisco,
The Mill Whistle printed a picture show
ing the departure of the first truckload
from the Goldston Tranfer terminal at
Leaksville.
The arrival in Los Angeles of the
truck carrying automatic blankets and
rugs is shown in the above pictures
which were sent to President Harold
W. Whitcomb by Davis Petty, Los An
geles warehouse manager.
In a note accompanying the snapshots,
Mr. Petty wrote:
“Yesterday and today we are unload
ing a (railway) carload of towels and
sheets; also a Western Car loading ship
ment of towels; also a truckload of St.
Marys blankets; and at 5:30 p.m. the
next Fieldcrest Mills truck will be here
and be unloaded tonight.
“A busy day! You can see we expect
a good season and our salesmen have a
job to do.”

quard weavers, won places on the hon

jacquard weavers, and Drewey Chilton,
Mattie Hall and Lessie Walker, plain
and dobby weavers.
It is possible they have in mind beat
ing the records of Ernest Powell, plain
weaver, and Gentry Higgins, jacquard
weaver, who established records of over
two years without a major quality de
fect. Mr. Powell retired recently under
the Fieldcrest Pension Plan.
The Blanket Mill began a program
May 1 emphasizing the importance of
good quality weaving and giving recog
nition to weavers with outstanding qual
ity records. At the beginning, the names
of all weavers who had worked six
months or longer without a major defect
were posted on the weave room bulletin
board and published in the Mill Whistle.
The honor rolls are revised each
month. Weavers having a major quality
defect drop off and other weavers who
have accumulated six months of quality
work are added. It is planned to give
extra recognition to weavers who are
able to remain on the honor list for six
consecutive months.
The qualify weavers recognition pro
gram has received much attention among
the personnel of the Blanket Weave
Room and has attracted the interest of
other textile manufacturers who have
written to the Blanket Mill for informa
tion about the plan.
Quality weavers for the six months
period ending July 31 are listed in the
accompanying box.
