Care For Quality Is Part Of Every Job
f
C. W. PAUL
At opposite ends of production oper
ations at the Karastan Spinning Divis
ion, Greenville, the two employees
above have a part in assuring that first
quality yarns are made for use in our
Karastan rugs and carpets.
C. W. Paul, warehouse man, is re
sponsible for warehousing all raw ma
terials and for keeping records of all
wool received. He transfers all wool
from the warehouse to the Blending De
partment or Dyehouse as required He
must make sure that the proper type of
wool is assigned to blends scheduled for
MARGE HUDSON
production and that all weights
correct to provide uniformity in eac
the blends.
Marge Hudson, a skein
makes the final inspection before
yarn is shipped to the Karastan ,
Mill at Leaksville. She rejects any
skeins found, removes any mii^^ ^
fects and replaces them with good y
She checks to see if the yarn has
proper amount of twist and puts
header twist to prevent the yarn
tangling in the scouring operatic
the Karastan Rug Mill.
