President of B. V. D„ Craftspun
Owner, Featured In lime Article
The president of B. V. D. Com
oany, Inc., owner of Craftspun
Yams, Inc., of Kings Mountain,
was subject of a feature article
in a recent issue of Time Maga
zine.
The story detailed the acquisi
tion of the B. V. D. Company by
its p-esident. Sol Kftav, in 1951.
B. V. D., founded 86 years ago,
acquired the Craftspun company
here via a federal count sale, aft
er the former owner of Craftspun
had become bankrupt.
In B. V. D.’s 1962 annual re
port, for the year ending March
11, this statement was made:
‘Concurrently with expansion toy
acqui ition, B. V. D. Is completing
important additions to ks own
producing facilities. The capacity !
tt the Company’s spinning plant
at Kings Mountain, North Caro-;
Una is being increased approxi
nately 80 percent by an addition j
now underway. Knitting and j
bleaching operations, now being
conducted at Carrboro, North
Carolina, will be transferred to
t new plant now under construc
tion at Kings Mountain.
Upon completion of this step,
1 V. D.’s Kings Mountain facili
ties will provide the great bulk
of the Company’s total yarn re- j
quiremeivts.
Relating the history of B. V. D.,
Time credited the late Clark
Gable with changing ithe men’s
apparel trend from undershirts
to none in the movie “It Hap
pened One Night” — a trend re
versed by World War II when a
host of GI's acquired an affinity
to “skivie” or T-shints.
The firm now owns Beau Brum
mel Ties and only two months
ago purchased Fleexes Interna
tional, which makes girdles, bras
and swim suits.
Last year’s sales were $17.7
million and Time reports this
year’s sales, with newly acquir
ed firms, running double last
year’s and earnings up 25 per
cent.
Mr. Klttay, relates Time, is a
52-year-old British immigrant,
who rose from a $12-a-week of
fice boy to owner of his own
firm, his first an Ohio textile
mill he bought in 1945. Six years
later he had grown sufficiently
to buy B. V. D„ now the fourth
largest producer of men’s under
wear.
The company's first public
stock offering was offered last
February. It is listed on the
American Stock Exchange and
closed Tuesday at $15,125 per
share.

Tuberculosis
X-Ray Isn't
Mobile Now
By ELIZABETH STEWART
The Cleveland County Mobile
X-Ray Unit—a free health ser
vice here for 16 years—has been
missing from downtown streets
the past four months.
Kings Mountain Jaycees say
the reason is that the '42 model
bus which houses the Unit has
been parked. A wrecker pulled
the mobile unit to an area in
dustry a few days ago to give
X-ray service to employees. Oth
er citizens who’ve needed chest
x-rays have driven to the Health
Center in Shelby every third Fri
day.
"The old bus is just falling
apart and can’t be driven any
more”, officials said, and, they
added, “result is that many peo
ple don’t visit the Health Center
to have the needed chest x-rays
for early detection of tuberculo
sis, the number one killer of all
the infectious diseases.”
Kings Mountain and Shelby
Jaycees, who donated the origi
nal bus and Unit in May, 1949,
launched a fund drive this week
to raise $7,500 to purchase a
new vehicle. Jaycee Bill Jonas,
who is heading the local cam
paign, pointed out the X-ray
equipment remains in excellent
condition and experts say that
if it is housed in a new bus will
be usable for many more years
of operation.
'Local Jaycees plan a canvass
of business houses within the
next few days for solicitations.
Contributions may be forwarded
to: Jaycees, FO Box 552, Kings
Mountain; or Jaycees, PO Box
m achy.
Proceeds from the Kings
Mountain Jaycees’ Tuesday Ra
dio Day promotion will benefit
the new bus fund, Mr. Jonas con
tinued.
Average X-raying each day of
operation of the Mobile Unit dur
ing 1961 was from 105 to 210, TB
Association Executive Director
(Mrs. B. M. Jarrett, of Shelby,
said. Mrs. Jarrett noted that of
the 5.868 citizens visiting the X
Ray Unit, there were 14 eases of
tuberculosis found, 3S6 suspects
and 295 suspects evaluated.
There were no deaths from tuber
culosis In Cleveland County last
year. Since 1955, there were ten
deaths attributed to tuberculosis.
The late Dr. Z. P. Mitchell,
county health officer who was
instrumental in the movement
to bring a health service of this
type to the county, had said that
the “most important phase of a
chest clinic is the finding of new
cases of tuberculosis and getting
them to begin treatment." Many
doctors send susneet cases to the
chest clinic and Dr. Mitchell had
credited the county chest clinic
“one of the finest adjuncts to
the control of tuberculosis this
county could possibly have.”
In Kings Mountain, the aver
age yearly report for industries
shows that during 1961 1239 per
sons had chest X-rays during the
mobile unit’s visit to the plants.
This figure didn’t include those
who visited the unit on fourth
Thursdays in front of Belk’s.
