Cotton Purchasing Department Reorganized
The following additions enlarging and
strengthening the Cotton Purchasing or
ganization of Fieldcrest Mills, Inc., have
been announced by President Harold
W. Whitcomb:
Herbert J. Muller joined the company
August 1 as resident cotton buyer for
the Memphis territory with his office
in the Cotton Exchange Building, Front
Street, Memphis, Tenn.
Effective August 17, Richard M. Tip
ton joined the Fieldcrest Cotton Depart
ment at the General Offices in Spray as
assistant purchasing agent for cotton;
and Charles W. Lively joined our Cotton
Department as buyer and classer and
will be located at the Muscogee Mill.
Mr. Lively, in addition to receiving
and classing cotton for our Muscogee
Mill, will also purchase cotton on the
Georgia and Alabama market for Mus
cogee and other Fieldcrest operations.
It was announced that D. A. Young
will continue as commission buyer on
the Greenwood, Miss., market.
All of these men will report to Hurdle
H. Lea, Jr., director of raw materials
purchasing at the General Offices in
Spray.
Mr. Whitcomb said Marvin Woolen,
who has acted in a consulting capacity
to our Cotton Department since last No
vember, will continue in that capacity
until November 1, 1964.
In commenting on the new appoint
ments, Mr. Whitcomb said: “These new
men have had excellent experience in
buying cotton in the various territories
and have also been associated with well-
known and highly-regarded firms in the
cotton trade.
“It is my opinion that we now have a
strong cotton purchasing organization
which will make a substantial contri
bution to the company’s operation.”
Mr. Muller formerly was associated
with McSpadden & Company of Mem
phis. He began his career in the cotton
industry with Bland & Brooks in Mem
phis, in 1929. He next was with Manget
Bros, in Newman, Ga., and George H.
McFadden & Bro., in Memphis, as a
cotton classer and buyer.
He served three years in World War
II and after the war was a cotton buyer
with W. D. Felder & Co., Memphis, and
Crespi Cotton Co., in Dallas, Texas. He
was a buyer for McSpadden & Company
1956-1964. Mr. Muller is unmarried and
makes his home in Memphis.
