Maxi Coats Go Marvinol
[IMAGE: Woman in long maxi coat standing outdoors]
Maxi coats and maxi-chic Eskiloos® with brass trim on their squared-off moc toes and popular high vamps are right in style with today’s with-it fashions. The honey crushed patent vinyl coat has both style and warmth.
The warm, water-repellent Eskiloos are knee-high, with soles and chunky heels that keep you in step with fashion all the way.
Leading women’s clothes manufacturers use the Chemical division’s Marvinol® vinyl
resins for their superior quality and the real leather look they give to clothing. The Eskiloos are made by the C and I division.
Much of the research and development on Marvinol vinyl used in clothing and home furnishings is done at the TSSC here in Naugatuck by a team of qualified technical people: Charlie Buckley, Al Heinrichs, Mary Marques, Phil Morin, Carl Ruggles, Bill Stephenson, Lou Triano, Bob Tyler, and Arnold Werner, manager.

1970 Success . . .
(continued from page 1)
The design and construction of the new pretreatment waste water facility as part of the plant’s environmental program to control pollution of the Naugatuck river will be undertaken during 1970.
A plan has been initiated to study the causes of air pollution by buildings to determine methods to control the discharge of dust and odors into the air.
Materials Handling
Redesigned and standardized packages will improve the package appearance of our products. But these improvements will be wasted unless extra caution is taken during the filling, handling and shipping operation to ship neat, clean packages to our customers to stop customer complaints about our packages.
Damaged drums, dirty packages and dented cans can result in returned shipments and costly repackaging which affects our sales and profits.
Warehousing and trucking costs will be studied to give our customers faster and better service.
A clean plant and building is a good place to work and only good housekeeping practices by every person in their work and locker areas can attain this goal.
Purchasing
This group will continue the implementation of chemical and synthetic raw materials’ orders and inventory control by electronic data processing (EDP) to obtain material at the lowest cost and to provide the necessary materials on time for production operations.
The testing program on can liners for agricultural chemicals will be continued to give our customers quality products in the best packages.
Industrial Relations
Training programs will be conducted for foremen and supervisors; and a new orientation program for new employees will be given when they are hired.
Cafeteria and food services throughout the plant will be studied to improve service, particularly the hot food service in the vending machines.
A Contact and Evaluation program for salaried employees has started and every employee will be interviewed on a two level basis.
To keep employees informed on plant news and plans, the plant paper Chem-Texts, and News Bulletins will be issued on a regular basis.
Industrial Engineering
The red tape and delays in reviewing ideas will be eliminated under the new Idea Plan. Prompt attention will be given to all ideas submitted by all employees.
A Year Of Progress
By understanding the whys of your job, the importance of your job, and by showing a real, personal involvement in your job, 1970 will be a year of progress.
