Harris Congratulates Foremen
With Best Waste Reduction
Records In Their Mills
A tremendous amount of attention to
reducing waste is represented in the
accompanying pictures which show the
foremen who had the best waste con
trol records in their respective mills
during 1962.
These 11 foremen were invited to
the office of Robert A. Harris, vice
president, manufacturing, and congratu
lated on their effectiveness in training
employees in waste reducing methods
and encouraging their interest in pre
venting waste.
The foremen gave the credit to their
assistant foremen and the production
employees whose interest and coopera
tion in preventing waste made possible
the reductions in waste in their de
partments.
Preventing Waste Lowers Costs
“The prevention of waste is one of
the easiest ways to lower our manu
facturing costs,” Mr. Harris said, “and
lower costs give us a better chance in
competing with other m.anufacturers in
the sale of goods. Although some com
mendable records in waste control were
achieved in 1962, there are still tremen
dous savings to be made if proper work
methods are used and employees make
it a point to prevent waste on their
particular jobs.”
The foremen with the most outstand
ing waste control records, based on
Wastemeter standards, were; Automatic
Blanket Plant, M. D. Stearns, Blanket
Wiring; Bedspread Mill, A. D. Robert
son, Winding; Blanket Mill, J. C. Hara
way, Wool Picking; Bleachery, Eugene
Purcell, Jig Dyeing; Finishing Mill, Roy
Thompson, Napping; Karastan Mill,
Oscar Simmons, Finishing and Cut Or
der; Karastan Spinning Division, A. E.
Greene, Spinning; Sheeting Mill, T. B.

Carding and Spinning (a tie); Sheet
Finishing, M. E. Clifton, Sheet Cutting
and Sewing; and Towel Mill, Robert
Jamerson, Weaving.
Malcolm D. Stearns, foreman of the

gratulations on good waste reduction
from Robert F. Sambleson, manager of
the Automatic Blanket Plant.
