Building Ahead :
Of ScMile
The new $2-million plant of
the BVD Company, located
just east of Mocksville on
Milling Road, is expected to
begin operations the latter part
of October.
Leonard Stein, an official of
the company's main offices in
Montvale, New Jersey, said
last week that the plant itself
is practically complete, but the
installation of equipment and
facilities would require anoth
er 90 days.
"This is an unusual case in
which construction has run
well ahead of schedule," Stein
said. "Good weather, plus a
general lag in industrial con
struction in other areas, has
permitted a concentration of
effort here. As a result, the
plant is being completed about
60 days sooner than we ex
pected.
"Delivery of the operations
equipment has been geared to
the construction schedule.
Otherwise much of it could
have been installed already
and we would be about ready
to begin manufacturing.
"However, a great deal of
interest is being shown in the
Mocksville plant, and we ex
pect to have some definite
opening plans within another
few days."
| Approximately 60 persons
will be employed at the start
with the number gradually in
creasing to around 450 over
* two-year period. This will
make it one of Davie County's
largest industries. The Erwin
Cotton Mills at Cooleemee
now operated by Burlington
industries has about 1,250 em
ployees.
The BVD Co. manufactures
i nationally known brand of
knit shirt for men, as well as
underwear and other knitwear.
It is understood that most of
♦he employes here will be Wo
men.
Construction of the 160 000-
square-foot plant, sprawling
over four acres of a 150-acre
♦ract, began about the first of
the year.
The Kahn-Southern Co. of
Columbia, S. C., construction
management specialist, were
instrumental in selecting the
Davie site, in drawing the
plans and supervising the con
struction.
E. C. Morris, president
of the Mocksville Develop
ment Board, and attorney
George Martin, spearheaded
the negotiations that led to
the location of the industry
here.
Mrs. Wallace Benson of the
Junction Road is able to be
out again after treatmcai and
observation at Davie County
land Drive, Greensboro, was
admitted to Davie County Hos
pital in Mocksville with head
cuts. A hospital spokesman
said last night that Thrower
was in satisfactory condition.
State Highway Patrolman
Bill F. White said his inves
tigation showed that Thrower,
headed east on U. S. 158, ap
parently lost control of his
rig in a curve. The tractor
and trailer then apparently
spun around once in the road
and overturned onto the park
ed car, White said.
The car, a 1962 Chevy II
owned by Astor Andrew Wells
of Clemmons, Rt. 2, was park
ed on the right-hand shoulder
of the road, facing west.
White said no one was in
the car. According to White,
Wells had parked the car and
had crossed the road to aid
another motorist whose car
was in the ditch. It was rain
ing at the time of the col.
lision, White said.
The impact of the crash
flattened the roof of the car
The front of the trailer was
ripped open.
White said that no charges
had been brought pending fur
ther investigation.
He added that according to
the truck driver's log, the truck
was enroute from California
to Washington, D. C.

L. C. Dedmon reports that

squash from his garden. This
is one of the largest reported
