PHOTO ESSAY
By
PUANE PARIS
With the exception of one other producer, Crompton
Highland Mills is the only company in the States making
velveteen. Foreign competition has put the others out of
business.
Crompton products are distributed throughout the con
sumer world in the form of dresses, draperies, jewelry box
linings, hats and numerous other articles made of velve
teen and corduroy.
Plant manager, James Doughtie, pointed out some of
the trends in textile manufacturing: Automation in card
ing equipment, new types of spinning and greater usage
of synthetics. Many of the advances are in the finishing
and garment manufacturing treatments. The example most
cited today is durable press and wrinkle resistant mater
ials.
Crompton presently is completing a large refrigeration
unit to cool the entire carding and spinning departments.
Department refrigeration, the first in this area, was begun
in 1961.
“In the old days,” Doughtie said “some department*
would be around 100 degrees in the summer, but modem
cooling permits 80 degree working conditions. This is
for the employees’ comfort, better production and opera
tion of the mill.
Crompton employees, They according to Doughtie, are some
of the finest. work well, own homes and provide
families with higher education. The mill has helped many
students through college on the co-op plan.
Crompton-Highland presently employs around 1S00
workers.
