Economic OiifJook Now At Olin
Corporation Is Said Bright
Baldwin Speaks
Tuesday Before
Luncheon Meet
The business outlook for
Olin Corporation’s plants
here now offers promise of a
bright future, members of
the Brevard Chamber of Com
merce were told Tuesday by
Gam Baldwin, Jr., President
of the Fine Paper and Film
Group headquartered at Pis
gah Forest.
Guests of Olin at the lunch
eon meeting in the American
Legion Building, the Chamber
members were told that after
traveling “a long rough road
the past number of months, we
are seeing the light at the end
of the tunnel.
“We now are building
again,” Baldwin said, “after
difficult times when un
pleasant things had to be
done.”
The meeting coincided with a
letter from Mr. Baldwin to all
employees at the Pisgah Forest
plants in which he urged that
there be an attitude of under
standing of recent develop
ments, and in which he wrote of
the need for all Olin employees
to work and pull together to
solve the problems still facing
Ecusta Paper Division and Film
Division.
He traced the parallel
growth of the area economy
and the industry that, began
32 years ago as Ecusta Paper
Corporation, recalling that
his predecessors who man
aged the business were re
sponsive to the economic and
social needs of this com
munity and that the strength
of the population helped as
sure the growth and pros
perity of the plant. The three
decade period saw a twenty
fold increase in payroll. There
had been an almost continu
ous history of profit making
until the spiraling costs of
labor, raw materials and utili
ties were eroding that, vital
margin between cost of manu
facture and revenue from
sales.
“Signs of trouble were clear,
but, as you know, the change in
the national direction toward a
depressed economy with run
away inflation occurred very
quickly,” he said.
“The result in many cases
was the closing of business.”
Unable to raise prices of
products because of loss of cus
tomers, the only recourse was
to lower manufacturing costs.
“The only feasible answer
was In having a smaller num
ber of us accomplish more,”
he said.
