Community College Group Tours Karastan
Members of the advertising and dis
play class at Rockingham Community
College recently made a tour of the
Karastan Rug Mill where they spent
most of their time in the rug showroom
and the designing department. They
were accompanied by the instructor,
Mrs. William O. Moser, of Eden.
Advertising and display is a new
course for business majors at the col
lege and the visit to Karastan was one
of several field trips they have made
to establishments in the county to ob
serve operations related to their studies.
The students previously had visited the
Fieldcrest Store at Eden.
Mrs. Moser said the visit tO' Karastan
was mainly to see the showroom and
designing department and that the stu
dents were particularly interested in
learning about trends in styling and
design.

rug designer, answers questions for
