Under t he new tax law the go v ernment is withholding four p~rcent less than it did last year - but the taxes for 1964 have b2en re duc ed only two percent. This diff erence of two percent will have to b e paid back on April 15, 1965 when employees file their iilcome tax returns.

Young people shouldn't be baFdetted-w#h~ orrie buuftfie years o com e:-However, they should be concerned with how they a: e going to spend their lives, and you can help them generate that concern. Tell them about the textile industry. Make it possible for them to talk to other people. If your section or shift has a young man just 0 1 1t of college, introduce your young friends to him and ask him to explain why he chose the textile industry for a career. The proof of what the textile industry has to offer to bright, well-trained young people is reflected in the record of the nation's largest textile school. This year, 129 students graduated with textile degrees. Each of them had at least two job offers and the average starting salary was at an alltime hi gh.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS The elections are over and the nation is looking ahead t o January when President Johnson w ill b egin a new Administration and a new Congress will tak e office in Washington. The textile industry has a number of items of unfinished business which must be attended by the new Administration and the new Congress. First, the two-price cotton system must be laid to the rest permanently. At present, the system is at rest for a two-year period which ends in 1966. Second, the t extile program announced b y President John F . Kennedy in May, 1961 must be fulfilled if the textile indu stry is to be permitted to develop all of its potential. Fortunateiy, for the indust ry and for the nation, President Johnson has committed himself to the unfulfilled portions of the program. Third, there must be a continuing analysis of the foreign trade situation to insure that it never again gets out of hand and to bring all textile imports under a system of controls such as those presently in effect fo r cotton textiles. None of these items of unfinished business is asking for special attention or special treatment. Each is fully justified by the force of events taking place each day. Their justification doesn't mean that they will be developed, however, without h ard work and effort on the part of everyone in the textile industry. SYMPATHY Deepest sympathy is texended to Jimmy Cribb (Combing, C Shift), Kenneth Cribb (Combing, B Shift) and their family on the de ath of their father, John H. Reed Cribb of the Center Community in G eorgetown County on December 14. Freedom is being able t o d o w ha t you please without considering a nyon e except a w ife, boss, police, state, federal and city aut horities, and neighbors. As soon as you get close . to the truth, you are told that you are gettin g personal. Jolly Ole Saint Nicholas Over one hundred years ago Thomas Nast, the famous cartoonist, created our present-day image of Santa Claus. 111e jolly, white-bearded, old gen.tleman we know today bears little resemblance to the original Saint Nicholas. For hundreds of years Saint Nicholas was pictured as a bearded saint in flowing church robes, riding a white horse. In his arms he carried gifts for good children. and birch rods for naughty ones. Early Dutch settlers in the New World changed the image. Gone were the horse and flowing church robes. Saint Nicholas was now pictured with a broad-brimmed hat, a long Dutch pipe. and short breeches. Then in the beginning of the nineteenth century Washington Irving described Saint Nicholas, or Santa Claus, as a jolly, chubby fellow, rid~ng through the air in a sleigh drawn by reindeer. Dr. Clement C. Moore in his poem, "A Visit from Saint Nicholas'', published in 1823, established this image throughout the nation. Thomas Nast's final transformation of Santa Claus, in 1863, is with us today. And though the image of Santa Claus has had many changes, _th.e spirit of love and generosity for children remains the- :sattte. !- _,._ ~- _.:~~ Safe At Home .. Astronaut J ohn Glenn, as a Marine Corps Pilot, flew numerou s combat m issions in World War II and Korea. He withstood a r igorou s training period in preparation for his famo us flight in space. He orbited the earth in a feat which was unthinkable only 15 years ago. All this he did w ithout injury t o himself. L ast Februay, Colonel Glenn fe ll in his own apartment, struck the side · of his head and suffeI"ed such severe injuries that h e was -force d to ithdraw his candidacy for United States senator from Ohio. It took him several m onths to recover. Last year in South Carolina, h undreds of persons w ere in more or less the same predicament. They were extra careful in traffic. They ob eyed all the safety rules at work. They practiced water and boating safety. But they returned h ome and were seriously and painfully injured in the safety of their own home. All of which sh ows that w e must protect ourselves wherever w e are. H ome is n ot the haven that we would like to think it is. �WELLMAN TOPICS SCOURING - A SHIFT Wellman Families David C.

COUR TESY OF NATIONAL SAFETY COUNCIL �Page -Four Lines By Lew is If you ask the young boy operating the lemonade stand who his competitor is, he'll tell you "It's the kid with the nearest lemonade stand". And the competition is as hot as the day. It's loud, blunt persuasive and to be sure, penny concious. It's a battle for busmess i~ the best tradition of young enterprise. However, in today's bigger battle for textile business it is not always quite so clear with just whom we are competing. W e are, of course, competing for customer favor with other t extile companies offering similar products. Or, we may be competing with companies in other industries who are vying for the dollars a buyer has to sp end. In another sense, this competition becomes more personal, more direct, when you look at it · this way. Every t extile employee is actu ally in competition with a c::;r~:::upunuing e - plu_y e 1t1 a competing mill. You may know him, and you may not. In any case, you are unlikely to know how efficiently he is operating. Nevertheless, to help your company stay in business, the aim is to out-save, out-control, outeconomize and out-improve your counterpart competitor. These days we hear a good deal about doing a better cost control job in our mill. What do we mean by "better" costs? Do we mean better than we did last week, last month or last year? Do we mean better than the next department? Perhaps so, but we also mean better than employee in the other mill with whom you are competing. Sure, we all have costs . Both we and our competitors. But, whoever has the lowest costs and can produce the highest quality product gets the most business, and whoever gets the most business can afford to invest more money in the business to maintain present jobs and create n ew ones. Who cares about costs? We all care about costs. A s savers and investors we seek a £air return, a reasonable profit. And, we know that the ability of any t extile mill to profit and progress depends on its ability t o charge a fair mark-up over costs and WELLMAN TOPICS expenses. As textile employees we seek steady jobs and opportunity. These are assured in companies which remain competitively strong. There is no bett er way for a worker to insure his job security than to insure that his company will competitively stay in business. A s we said before, company growth means more jobs and st eady sales m ean steady jobs. Our freedom to compete has forced every company to make the most efficient use of natural resources, material and manpower or face fi nancial loss or failure . L et u s all hope that in the area of quality workmanship and firstrate service to our customers, there is no evidence of laxness. We all depend on our customers, and particularly in these tough, competitive times. We must put our emphasis every minute on doing the best job we can for them.

Newsletter W ELCOME to the very first issue of our company-wide quarterly newsletter! As Wellman continues to grow in the Nineties, it becomes apparent that we must combine the efforts of our individual divisions and begin to share information throughout the organization. As we continue to merge our diverse cultures, it is important to understand what is unique about each of us. And, as we begin to work more closely with one another and form relationships, communicating our strengths and successes becomes an integral part of our continued growth. The goals of the newsletter will be four-fold. First, to update employees on company events and activities. Second, to make employees aware of different aspects of the company and the business. Third, to provide a forum to state the company's direction and values, and fourth, to promote company-wide unity. Relative to our company values, take special note of the feature article on Quality. Each and every one of you will be hearing a lot about Quality, going forward. We have an extraordinarily strong commitment to quality products and quality services, and these quality-driven values will keep us in a leadership position well into the 2 Jst century. We hope everyone will take an active interest in the newsletter. We really need everyone's help in order for it to be enjoyable and effective. If you have an interest in contributing a story, or just a story idea, contact your local correspondent (identified on the back page of this newsletter). But first, we need to name the newsletter; and we are offering TEN SHARES OF WELLMAN STOCK to the person who comes up with the best idea. An impartial jury will judge the entries and make this Stock Award early in March. So, put on your thinking caps, get involved, and send us your entries no later than February I, 1992. The rules are simple; just fill in the blanks on the entry form on the last page and send it in . TEN SHARES OF WELLMAN STOCK COULD BE YOURS! Iv-TOM DUFF President. Chief Executive Officer �Leading the Way with Quality As A MEANS of remaining competitive in a rapidly-expanding global economy. Wellman, like like many other American companies, is focusing on an increased quality improvement process. A recent federal study on the impact that these quality management processes have on the companies that have adopted the principles shows that considerable improvement has been made in the following areas : employee relations, productivity, customer satisfaction, market share, and profitability. Wellman senior management recently attended a seminar on quality improvement. The objective of the seminar, conducted by OualPro, a Knoxville, TN consulting firm, was to highlight the purpose, requirements and rewards of the quality improvement process. Judy Langan ECO EXPO T HE AGE OF the environmental consumer is upon us, and nowhere was that more apparent than at the ECO EXPO held at the Javits Center in New York. Judy Langan, Shella Friedberg and JIii Harnlck, from the the Fibers Division, "manned" a Wellman booth at the show and talked with what seemed to be hundreds of "environmentally conscious" consumers, manufacturers, educators, retailers and even a reporter from National Public Radio, BACK ROW: Bob Magee, Gerry Fishbeck, Audie Dupuis, Bill Harding, Bill Basemore, Ernie Taylor CENTER ROW: Dick Kattar, Calvin Hughes, Ryan Scholz, Maxie Hardin, Norm Lavigne, Frank Cause FRONT ROW: Joe Tucker, Tom Duff, Tim Draper, Les Sussman, Paul Apostol, Cliff Christenson Focusing on the four key principles, Wellman management learned that: * The entire organization must be geared towards SATISFYING ITS CUSTOMERS, both internal and external, by always meeting or exceeding their requirements . * SENIOR MANAGEMENT LEADS THE WAY in incorporating quality values, which are a vision of the future and describe the company's culture, into the company. * EMPLOYEES ARE INVOLVED in improving quality and reducing costs. The ideas and knowledge of the people closest to the process are a vital part of the improvement. and teamwork is the key to success. * CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT is a way of life . The quality improvement process is a proven approach, a method that results in better products and services at lower costs. Consider Japan, who went from economic ruin after World War II to a major economic power by utilizing these basic principles. The OualPro seminar was just the beginning. Senior Staff is currently developing a Quality Policy and a Values Statement. Steering committees and training sessions are being set up for education and guidance . Within a very short time, the entire organization will be involved in this process which will enable us to continue into the future in a leadership role . • 2 f which aired the interview and increased traffic to the booth . Exhibitors at the show displayed a variety of "environmentally correct" products. From non-toxic household cleansers in recycled packages, to handbags made from discarded inner tubes, all of the goods and services at this show were "environmentally friendly." Other interesting products included notebooks made from unwanted computer parts, solar-powered cars, and organic cosmetics. Wellman's booth generated a lot of interest and excitement. Students stopped by to tell us that they recycled; stockholders stopped by to thank us; retailers asked us where they could buy our product; consumers asked us how they could get more involved, and just about everyone said "keep up the good work!" Plans to attend these shows on a regular basis are already underway.

Ole encouraged everyone to visit our display booths, take the plant tour and talk to our employees. 0 N SEPTEMBER 22, 1991 , the employees of Bonded Fiber Products West, in Commerce, CA, were treated to a night of Mexican food and mariachi music. The celebration was to thank employees for a great team effort in maintaining a good safety record for the years 1989 and 1990. The biggest "reward" is that employees are not being injured . Good safety records also reduce workers ' compensation and insurance costs, which, in turn, con- motto, "One Team Achieving Excellence." He explained that "This means approximately 200 of us working as a team to produce products that are of the highest quality, to run our processes without interruptions and, most importantly, to operate in a manner that maximizes the safety and well-being of our employees."

Montgomery County's Recycling Center processes commingled recyclable containers {rigid plastic containers, aluminum, tin cans and glass containers) and also acts as a transfer point for newspaper, compostable yard waste and brush . The Bezner system is designed to process over 100 tons of mixed recyclables per shift, and the facility will handle an additional 140 tons of newspaper and 40 tons of yard waste each day. Preliminary estimates show the facility generating between 4 and 5 million pounds of baled plastics per year after full program implementation . State-of-the-art Design CRlnc. designed, built and now operates the S8 .4 million facility which is located just outside of Washington, D.C. The plant is equipped with Bezner sorting machinery, also used in CRlnc.'s Johnston, Rhode Island, Brookhaven, New York and DuPage The Recycl ing Center features an elaborate building design with full educational amenities, including an elevated " catwalk" which provides a bird's-eye view of all processing components and operations.

N THE FACE of a growing AIDS epidemic, at a time when health care facilities are strain ing to provide even the basic services, " gardens of hope" can bring som e much needed sunshine to the lives of those who need and deserve it most. One organization that' s working toward this goal is the Tamarand Foundation, whose purpose is "to create life affirming en- . vironments for children living w ith HIV and AIDS ." In an effort to help, the Fibers Division co-sponsored a breakfast and marketing semin ar with CHILD Magazine for the Childrenswear Manufacturers Association . The event, entitled " Ch ildren in the 90's," was attended by 250 childrenswear professionals who heard a dist inguished panel of experts discuss th e importance of cause-relat ed marketing, and the increasin g significance t he environment will have on consumers.

Goes International Packaging institutes from all over Europe are turning to America for examples of successful recycling programs. A LTHOUGH MANY overseas cities and towns began recycling some years ago, surprisingly few have comprehensive recycling programs designed to substantially reduce the amount of municipal solid waste that must be landfilled or incinerated, CRlnc. is now expanding its market to include Europe, Australia, the Pacific Rim and the Middle East. CRlnc.'s first overseas project is an award by the Borough of Milton Keynes, England, to design and install a large-scale processing center for recyclable materials. The facility will process plastics, paper, glass, metals and textiles. Milton Keynes is located approximately 60 miles north of London and has a population base of 400,000. CRlnc. is working closely with the European Recovery and Recycling Association (ERRA) to promote the concepts of curbside collection and Materials Recycling Facilities throughout Europe. We have developed joint marketing efforts with our German partner, Bezner, to capitalize on this surge in business opportunities. CRlnc.'s president and Vice President of Business Development have spoken before several municipal recycling groups in Europe and are currently pursuing discussions with Birmingham, Leeds and Nottingham in England. The current recycling wave in Europe is largely propelled by powerful packaging groups responding to government pressure. They seek to ensure that their packaging is both technologically and logistically recyclable. The packaging groups typically provide startup II capital for facilities in large metropolitan areas. Packaging institutes from all over Europe are turning to America for examples of successful recycling programs. In late October, CRlnc. and partner, Laidlaw Waste Systems, Inc., were selected by a packaging institute in Belgium to design, develop and operate a large-scale recycling facility. The 280 ton per day recycling facility will be the first CRlnc. facility on the European continent. CRlnc. representatives have been working closely with Wellman's well-established European branch, Wellman International Ltd. Wellman International has offices in Ireland, England, The Netherlands and Germany. Both CRlnc. and Wellman anticipate substantial activity in the European sector during the next few months. Other International Efforts CRlnc. is working with Public Works officials in Bermuda to design and install a small-scale processing center. CRlnc. has been providing marketing services to the island community of 75,000 for the past several months. CRlnc. is investigating expansion possibilities in Australia as well; we are currently working with a Melbourne-based consultant to evaluate the Australian market. Other international sales efforts and inquiries include Mexico, Costa Rica, Israel and Korea . �- - - The Palmetto Plant----Buckles Upl Wellman Adopts Shareholder Rights Plan 0 N AUGUST 6, I 99 I, the Board of Directors of Wellman, Inc. declared a dividend distribution of one Common Stock Purchase Right for each outstanding share of Wellman Common Stock. The Rights were distributed on September I 6, I 99 I to shareholders of record as of August 30, I 99 I . Certificates evidencing the Rights were not sent to the shareholders as the Rights trade automatically with the Common Stock. For example, anyone who owned I 00 shares of Wellman Common Stock as of the close of business on August 30, I 99 I or who buys I 00 shares in the future, automatically owns I 00 Purchase Rights. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase one share of Wellman Common Stock for S90. Belts and Bags A Winning Combination What Is a Rights Plan? South Carolina Governor's Office of Highway Safety Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. Governor A ty belts, James said. The third survey, done September I 9-20, showed 80.4%. To qualify for the award from the South Carolina Governor's Office of Highway Safety, two consecutive surveys of 70% or more are required . LITTLE PREVENTION can go a long way - in the automobile and the canteen. Palmetto Plant employees recently passed two surprise inspections as part of qualifying for the 70% Plus Honor Roll, a national program designed to enhance safety belt awareness. Employees wearing their safety belts were given Buckle Up American dollars, for SI .00 worth of items in the company canteen. "It worked out real well; we were pleased to see that," said Richard James, an environmental engineer who helped coord inate the program. "We felt this campaign would help our people in case they were involved in an accident. We're a safety-conscious plant, so it was just a natural extension of what we already have in place here," James said. On three occasions, volunteer employees checked out other workers as they drove into the parking lots James said. The initial survey showed that slightly fewer than 69% of employees wore their safety belts, a good figure, but not enough . A vigorous awareness campaign was put underway with bulletin board postings, videos, and notices of safety belt benefits accompanying payroll checks. Survey volunteers and program coordinators included James, Lydia King, Anne Bradley, Nick Jacobs, John Kimbrough, Wayne Clary and Fluor Daniels employees Jean Rowe and Walter MIiier. • The second survey showed 80.2% wearing safe- 12 Shareholder Rights Plans, commonly called "poison pills," contain provisions designed to ensure that a company's shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of an attempted takeover of the company. These provisions guard against abusive and coercive takeover tactics that the Board of Directors believes are not in the best interests of the shareholders of the company. Wellman's Shareholder Rights Plan was not adopted in response to any effort to acquire Wellman, nor is the company aware of any such effort. The Rights Plan is also not intended to prevent a takeover of Wellman and will not do so. However, it should deter any attempt to acquire control of Wellman in a manner or on terms that the Board of Directors determines are not in the best interests of all shareholders. How Does the Rights Plan Work? The Rights Plan provides that the time a person or group becomes an acquiring person or group, meaning they have acquired I 5% or more of outstanding shares of Wellman Common Stock, the Rights will separate from the Common Stock and separate certificates representing the Rights will be sent to shareholders. Shareholder Rights Plans, commonly called "poison pills,,, contain provisions designed to ensure that a company's shareholders receive fair and equal treatment in the event of an attempted takeover of the company. Although the Rights are not valuable now, if a person acquires I 5% of Wellman Common Stock, the Rights will become valuable to all shareholders, other than the acquiring shareholder(s). Non-acqu.iring shareholders will have the right to receive, upon exercise of their Rights, Common Stock having a market value equal to two times the exercise price of their Rights. Wellman's Rights have an exercise price of S90 per Right, therefore, every Right not owned by an acquiring person would entitle its holder to purchase SI 80 worth of Wellman Common ,i Stock for S90. For example, let's assume that the Common Stock had a per share value of S30 at such a time and a nonacquiring shareholder owns I 00 shares of stock and, therefore, I 00 Purchase Rights . This shareholder would be entitled to purchase six shares of Common Stock for every Right exercised, to a maximum of I 00 Rights. This number is derived by dividing the S90 exercise price by the S30 share price and multiplying by 2. If this shareholder exercised 25 of his rights, he could purchase I 50 (2 5 rights x 6 shares per right) shares of stock for S2,250 (25 rights x S90) instead of the S4,500 market price ( I 50 shares x S30) . Issuance of the Rights does not in any way weaken the financial strength of Wellman, nor interfere with its business plans. The issuance of the Rights has no dilutive effect, will not affect reported earnings, is not taxable to the holder or Wellman and will not change the way Wellman Common Stock is currently traded . The Rights expire on August 5, 2001, unless earlier redeemed by the company. More than I .500 companies have adopted Rights Plans over the last several years. Wellman considers these Rights to be an important means of protecting shareholders' ability to retain their equity investment in Wellman and to realize the full value of that investment. The adoption of the Rights Plan expresses the Board of Directors' confidence in Wellman's future and determ ination that all shareholders, including employees, be given every opportunity to participate fully in that future. • (This summary description of the Rights Plan is not complete. If you have any questions about the plan or would like to receive a copy of it, please contact JIii M. Rea, Wellman's Investor Relations Manager, at the Shrewsbury office .) 13 �Every Little Bit Counts Toward Profit Sharing T If you suggest a better way to do your job or eliminate costs or reduce the time necessary, it increases operating income. HIS IS THE SECOND YEAR of the Wellman Profit Sharing Plan . The sharing started in 1990, and the plan was revised for 1991 to make it more understandable and to make the payout goals more attainable. For the first quarter of this year, every eligible domestic employee of Wellman received one percent of their quarterly income, and in the second and third quarters, the reward was two percent each time. Profit sharing is a relatively new concept and very few employers share the rewards of good performance with all employees. Wellman has taken a leadership role and wants to continue to offer an incentive for outstanding results . Our plan shares an equal percentage to all employees, based on the amount of operating income that is generated in a specific quarter. The question frequently asked is, " How can I contribute to profit sharing?" The answer is that everyone can contribute, no matter what their job is. For example, what if you go to a discount pharmacy to fill your medical prescription rather than the most convenient one? Payment of claims from our medical plans is funded directly by the company, and SI O saved on your prescription is SI O more in operating income. Your contribution might be a big idea, such as the one Dave Hudson had to purchase in bulk an additive to the fiber process in Palmetto (see story on next page "SI 00,000 + Idea" ). If you suggest a better way to do your job or eliminate costs or reduce the time 14 Quarter Earnings same quarter last year. The company purchased CRlnc. late in last year's third quarter, therefore, there is no sales comparison for CRlnc. The continuation of poor market conditions in Europe, exacerbated by the seasonally slow summer vacation period and a brief work stoppage at the Irish plant, resulted in lower production levels at Wellman's European fibers operations during the third quarter. The resultant significantly reduced volumes, as well as further selling price declines, caused the European operations to report a loss for the third quarter of 1991. In addition, during the quarter, Wellman incurred approximately S1.5 million of one-time restructuring and similar charges at various business units, including costs related to a reduction in personnel at the company's Irish plant resulting from process efficiencies. Such one-time costs should result in efficiencies in future periods. • necessary, it increases operating income. A portion of these savings comes back to us in the form of profit sharing. Of course, a lot of things that we might not have direct control over have a large impact on operating income, like the price of raw materials or the selling price of our products. But then again, our individual efforts to make the best quality product help to support a higher selling price. If we all just do the very best we can, the results will be there and, more importantly, with the Wellman Profit Sharing Plan, now they will be shared with every employee. We are fortunate to work for a company that has profit sharing. Very few of our neighbors can claim that they share in the profits of their employers. If each of us can contribute a little bit, then all of us will benefit. • i S100,000+ IDEAII D A portion of these savings comes back to us in the form of profit sharing. AVE HUDSON used a little supermarket strategy to save a lot of money. Hudson, a buyer at the Palmetto Plant, came up with the idea of purchasing Additive Code I I IO in bulk instead of in the 510 pound drums as before . The proposal has been named "idea of the Month" for June, 199 I, at the Palmetto Plant. " The new method will save at least SI 00,000 per year," said Hudson, a I 0-year employee. Many hours will also be saved since drum handling and pallet disposal has been eliminated. "It will save a lot of people a lot of work . Now all they have to do is turn on the spigot," Hudson said. The idea for the 12,000 gallon 15 storage tank came during a recent meeting in which Hudson and his coworkers tried to work out a better way to handle the drum and chemical situation . Previously, the price of the product included the drums and pallets, so Hudson saw an opportunity to cut costs. " I could buy the material for quite a bit less .. . it just sort of took off from there," Hudson said. The bulk storage idea may be used for other chemicals, but Hudson and coworkers are not sure yet. In the meantime, more Additive Code I I IO on the premises means more savings. "The payback on this is short term . From then on, it's all gravy," said Hudson . • �Published quarterly for employees of Wellman, Inc. and their famllles.

In 1964 , the restlessness of pre-teens set in . As our sons discover girls and our daughters d iscover boys , Wellman Combing Company with its heritage in natural wool f ibers discovered synthetics . I always receive a great deal of pleasure when presented the opportun ity to express the thoughts of my staff and myself to fellow Well man emp loyees. This opportunity is particularly appreci ated since this issue of the Wellman Topics celebrates our 20th Anniversary . As most of you know, I have not had the privilege of belonging to the Wellman organization for the full 20 years; however, I have had the opportunity to go through the " teen-age" years of Wellman Industries, Inc. with you . This " teen-age" period in the life of an organization is a very important period - much as it is in the life of a person. Although missing the infancy of Wellman Industries , Inc. , I can only say I am pleased to have been here during the critical " teens." It is upon this comparison between the life of a company or organization and our lives as individuals that I would like to comment in this message. In 1954, Wellman Combing Company was born as is a child . It was provided the necessities to allow it to grow, develop , and gradually mature - employees , material , bu ildings , equipment , and owner desire for Wellman Combing Company , which can be compared to food , clothing , housing and love for a child. In the first year, a healthy Wellman Combing Company grew in employees from 125 to 450 - much as the baby grows from seven pounds at birth to 21 pounds at the end of the first year. During the 1950's and early 1960's , the Company to crawl continued to grow as does the child - learni r,~f ~5 % of ' walk , run , and become a respected comberfo m the child of the Un ited States wool supply - raiser!• 1954 by all the Wellman employA'" · \J\,rcLLMAN TOPICS In 1964, production of synthetic fibers was begun, adding to the growth and development of the Company - which was fast approach ing its " teens ." As the Company entered its " teens, " it was then the largest importer of apparel wool , the largest producer of wool top and lanolin in the U.S.A ., and the synthetic operation had grown from an idea to a manufacturing unit four times its size in a mere three years . The / Company was truly in its "teen-age" years.

We're also earning a good rep utat ion for our Walter Robinson, Jack Belshaw , Wendell Richardson and Barry Crock er Leroy Barcu s newer products ," Mr. Robinson continued . " Look back over the years since Wellman has been in Johnsonville. Wool meant a lot of shipping money for the Port of Charleston. It has provided the income for many people who have built new homes and made business prosper ," Mr. Robinson said. "Yes sir, woo l wil l always be my favorite fiber . Wool has been wonderful to the Robinson fam il y. Wellman top has warmed millions . It has meant a lot to this community ," Mr. Robinson noted. Frank Davis �Ta xes From Wellman Have Boosted Education Modern Facilities Also Aided By Company Twenty Years In Johnsonville J ohn G. " Jack" Wellman , chairman of the board of Wellman Industries, Inc. , placed one of the telephone receivers on his desk back on the hook , told his attractive secretary Sylvia Joye to hold his calls for a little while and started talking to a newsman in his office for a brief interview. "This company wouldn't be where it is today if it were not for the cooperative spirit between our employees from the oldest, in terms of seniority , to the newest man or woman on the payroll," he insisted . " Personally , I have always been happy with people here. From the first day I came to Johnsonville , I have been impressed by the men and women who make up the Wellman family ," Mr. Wellman continued. " By famil y . mean all the men and women who work or have worked here and their families . Johnsonville has been good for Wellman and I like to feel Wellman has been good for Johnsonville ," he said WELCOME TO THE .PEE DEE -. . . Home of - WELLMAN INDUSTBIEs INC• Johnsonville, South Carolina• . . . a diversified textile n1anufacturer . ~t.tr? :! · ... ~i ;♦.,,_ . ......... Wellman taxes have helped build schools and the community . The Wellman payroll has been good for the economy . Hundreds of new homes and thousands of home appliances and televison sets have been bought with money earned at Wellman . Millions of dollars paid Wei Iman workers have also been spent for groceries and other necessities . " We've had our ups and we have had our downs. I would say that our 20 years in Johnsonville , though , have been mostly ups . I'm confident the future will be a bright one. You can be assured this company will do everything possible to remain a vital part of the textile industry . I'm personally looking forward to my next 20 years in Johnsonville . We love it here . We will make our home here ," he stressed. " I remember when we decided to come to Johnsonville. Our markets for wool top were here and Johnsonville was a good spot because of the availability of workers here and the Port of Charleston for the importing of grease wool, " Mr. Wellman recalled . Wellman came down as a wool combing operation . Wool 20 years later has been pushed to the background because of changing marketing conditions. Synthetics are big now. " Fortunately , diversification into other fibers has worked well for Wellman . By closing down any operation that does not contribute its share of earnings , we do not jeopardize the entire company. This enables us to keep more people working and to provide them with more job secu rity over the long run ," Mr. Wellman reasoned . " We are proud of our 20 years of growth and progress in Johnsonville and the Great Pee Dee. Much of this s uccess is due to our fine employees , the community, our suppliers, our customers and in general - our friends . They have helped make Wellman a respected name in the textile industry ," Mr. Wellman said. " We have co me a long ways since 1954 when we arrived in Johnsonville . I remember some of the people who came with us like George Garnett and Vic Papitto and the fine men and women who have been with us all these years in South Carolina ," Mr. Wellman said . " You bet we are going to do everything we can to keep Wellman both a good employer and a good citizen in the Pee Dee ," Mr. Wellman concluded . We've had our ups and we have had our downs. I am confident the future wi 11 be a bright one. -Jack Wellman �PROFILE Supervisors Finish Course Some of the Department supervisors at Wellman are showing off a little of the communications polish they picked up during a recent Dale Carnegie Course at lake City. / , Winners Harry Tanner and Ray Thornhill once again have been rewarded for suggestions they turned in to boost the overall operating efficiency and safety at Wellman : Ready cash awaits others with good ideas on how to make working conditions safer and improve A half dozen of the supervisors spent Tuesday nights for a couple of months driving over to Lake City to sharpen up their communication abilities.

Jim Crocker, Maintenance - "I was living and workeng at Ware Shoals. We lost our house that year. It burned down.

I do remember we had a big hurricane. I was working at Wellman when it came. The plant was new and much smaller then. The power went off in the plant and we all went home to see what damage the storm had done." John Henry Allison, Knitting "That's when they built the new school at St. Luke Elementry at Kirgsburg.
