From The Hickory Daily Record, Dec. 23, 1919

Good Fellowship Shown at Conover

Good fellowship obtained at the plants of the Hickory Handle Company and Warlong Glove Company at Conover today at noon when good will and cheer were passed around by both companies and the employes. Always the best of relations exist between the managers and their employes, but at Christmas this feeling is intensified by evidences of mutual regard.

The appreciation of the loyalty of their employes, these two companies presented each of the 80 men and girls a basket containing a 31-piece set of chinaware, topped with oranges and apples, a pair of gloves and holly, and a card containing the words, “Christ head of the house.”

Every Christmas the good cheer is scattered at Conover and each year the gifts are even more appreciated than in former years. The two Conover plants closed at noon until next Monday. Mrs. A.L. Shuford is president, Mr. G.F. Brady is vice-president and general manager, and Mr. A.L. Shuford is secretary and treasurer.
