Fixer’s ‘Centennial’ Beard Attracts Attention
Tony Larkins, a Sheeting Mill loom-
fixer who lives in Danville, Va., has
joined many more Danville men in
growing a beard in connection with
Danville’s Civil War Centennial cele
bration to be held in April.
Tony’s heavy, black beard has the
approval of his wife and his two sons.
In fact, his young sons begged him to
grow a beard because they saw other
men with beards. Tony said his beard
has attracted a great deal of attention at
work and at other times when he has
THE MILL WHISTLE
gone outside of Danville. The most
amusing experience took place recently
when he visited Richmond, Va., and
was mistaken for a beatnik.
Admiring the beard above are Aldean
Whitt (left) and Brenda Noles, both of
the Blanket Mill Inspecting Department.

Would You
Hire Yourself?
Most people think well of them
selves.
They would probably hire them
selves for any job within the limits
of their experience, or maybe even
outside of it.
But you might find, if you ana
lyze yourself honestly, that you
fall short in at least some of the
traits that make for a good em
ployee.
You might ask yourself if you
are genuinely interested in the
job. And if you can work well
with others.
Can you stick to a job? Are you
conscientious? Do you want to
learn about your work and your
company?
Are you serious about trying to
make your job more productive?
Are you willing to lend a hand
to a fellow-employee?
Are you dependable? Do you re
port for work regularly?
It could be, of course, that
you’re especially gifted, or per
haps unusually intelligent.
But if you’re not, you’ll still do
all right if you can answer ‘yes’
to the few questions above.
And should you have any of
these high gifts, they will shine
through with all the greater bril
liance if you’ve given all “yes”
answers in this basic little test.
