Carolina Dress Now Among Most Modern Dress Factories A recently installed work transporter is the latest addi tion to aqaipment that mates the Carolina Dress Corp. plant near Hayesville one of the most modern operations of its type in the south. The transporter is a two way belt system that takes mat erial to the machines of the in dividual workers. When the gar ments are finished, the work er puts a container back on the transporter and it is sent to the area where the final tou ches are put on the garments prior to shipment. A light panel indicates which workers are in need of more material and the transporter operator pushes a button which throws a bar across the belt system to force the container off at the operator's machine. Carolina Dress Corp. pro vides employment for workers from a four county area - Cherokee and Clay in North Carolina and Towns and Union By Do?? Bruc* In Georgia. Employees of the firm com mute from as far avay as Andrews, Suit and BlairsvUle. President Walter Fuller said tbe company now employs 230 persons - 145 at Hayesville and 85 at another plant in Hi awassee, Ga. When Carolina Dress began operations in February 1966, only 18 workers were employ ed. The building on Qualla Road was once a dairy barn. Floor space has been substantially increased with an addition to the original structure. Dresses, coats and suits are made in the plant. It is one of "only a few manufacturers in the south" to make the coat and suit combinations, Fuller said. He estimates that an aver age of 12,000 garments are turned out by his company each week. Inspite of Clay County's iso lated location, Fuller said transportation Is not a problem. Deliveries are made to New York in two days by track. He said shipments are made three times weekly. Fuller said his company has made steady gains and will con tinue to be able to offer em ployment opportunities to work ers in the area. "Right now we have more business than we can handle," be added. He pointed out that the com pany has never been closed, even one day, for lack of work. Fuller came to Clay County eight years ago and decided to go into business for him self afterspending almost six years here. While Clay County is not known as a heavily industra lized area, it is the location of Carolina Dress Corp. - a company its owner proudly de scribes as "one of the most modern dress factories in this country." Buttons are sewed on automatically at Carolina Dress Corp. The operator is Linda Gayle Shelton.

E. Nolting of the TVA Safety Staff. "The number of drownings in the 1960's continues to be less than would be proportion ate to the increased recusa tion use of the lakes, so we feel that the public generally is more aware of water safety practices," Nolting said. "Yet it is still disregard of well known safety rules that leads to most of these deaths, each of them is a needle tradedv." Two persons drowned in 19 in the turbulent waters at i stream dams, and at least others nearly lopt their liv in boat accidents in these < gerous areas. * TV A records show that addition to the 73 drown in 1967 at least 50 other | saved themselves or were : cued from water accide Many others were involved near-drownings which were i reported. r, WE HAVE TOE RIGHT GIFT!
