"The Credit Union’s board of directors,

systematically by deducting the
Ployees’ specified savings from pay
checks, a large number of Fieldcrest
people are saving regularly in the Credit
Union who otherwise would not be put
ting aside any savings out of their earn
ings.
As evidence of the genuine service
being performed for employees, Credit
Union officials cite the spectacular
growth of the Credit Union since it was
organized at the Leaksville-Spray-Dra-
per plants and offices in 1958. It was
subsequently extended to employees at
the other locations and now has over
6,000 members.
The Credit Union’s total assets, which
have grown steadily each year, now
amount to over $114 million. Since its
organization, the Credit Union has made
loans to members totaling over $4 mil
lion. In the Leaksville-Spray-Draper
area 83 per cent of all the employees
belong to the Credit Union.
All Fieldcrest employees who are not
members are invited to join the Credit
Union and enjoy its benefits. Applica
tion forms can be obtained from super
visors, personnel offices, or industrial
relations representatives.
