W- T. (Tom).Windham, aged 83
years, 10 monttoMnd 13 days, who
was engaged in farming and ranch-
ing near Jonesboro for many years,
died at approximately 7:00 o’clock
on Sunday Right, April 1, in an
Austin hospital
Mr. Windham’s death resulted
from a heart condition and pneu-
monia. He had been in ill health
for a number of years.
A son of the late Henry Wind-
ham and Mrs. Linde Adams Wind-
ham, William Thomas Windham
was born on May 18, 1878, on a
farm in Bosque County located near
Hurst Springs. He attended schools
near his home and continued to re-
side near Hurst Springs until he

On December 23,1900, Mr. Wind-

siding at that time.
Following their marriage Mr. and
Mrs. Windham lived on a farm
near Turnersville for three or four
years. Then they moved to a farm
snd ranch not far from Jonesboro,
which they owned and where they
continued to live as long as Mr.
Windham remained active.
Mr. Windham was a meftber of

boro as long as his health per-
mitted.

Employs Will Ba Increased By 35
Clif-Tex Plant To Add Production line
Clif-Tex Manufacturing Co., Inc.,
of CUfton this week announced
plans to add another production
line to its plant at an early date
This will mean an increase in em
ployees by at least 35 workers.
Acceptance by buyers for de-
partment stores throughout the na-
tion of coveralls, sportswear, and
now “leisurewear” produced by
Clif-Tex Manufacturing Co., Inc.,
has been excellent this past year.
It haa given the two production
lines now in operation more than
they could handle in keeping up
with the demand.
To meet this growing demand,
George Walls of-Cleburne, presi-
dent of the company, decided to
increase production in CUfton by
adding the new production line.
(Mr. Walls often drives down from
Cleburne, has breakfast here, and
is at the CUfton plant before his
employees report for duty.)
Victor Conrad, local plant mana-
ger, advertised for additional work-
ers late in March and has received
a promising Ust of appUcants. Wed-
nesday of this week the first group
seeking employment was given
aptitude tests by the Texas Em-
ployment Commission in Waco.
This will continue until approxi-
mately 35 qualified persons have
been employed.
It is anticipated by Mr. Conrad
that the new production line wiU
be in operation in about two weeks;
in addition to hiring of the per-
sonnel, wiring has to be installed
and the new machines put into
place and checked.
Supervisors for the new line will
come from workers within the
plant here. Sufficient room is avail-
able in the two buildings, but the
new Une will result in the utiliza-
tion of all available space, reported
Mr. Conrad.
Clif-Tex Manufacturing Co., Inc.,
started in Clifton in 1955 as Walls
Manufacturing Co. with one pro-
duction Une and 40 employees. The
company at the present time has
two production Unes and about
90 employees. The third Une will
bring the number of employees to
around 125.
During the early period of work
the employees will draw learner’s
pay, sUghtly below wage require-
ments of $1.15 per hour under the
wage and hour law. During this
period they will increase the pay
roll by at least $1,400 per week.
The growth of the Clif-Tex Manu-
facturing Co., Inc., has come about
through an imaginative manage-
ment, which has seen ways that,
with change and alterations, the
coverall could be converted to win-
ter uses. Through special light-
weight linings, knit collars and
cuffs, and water repellent materials
the coverall was converted to a pop-
ular sportsman’s coverall that has
caught the fancy of fishermen and
hunters and been put to many
other uses by men in all walks of
life. Now the local company haa
come up with another coverall in-
novation, a leisurewear garment
for casual work and wear about
the house for men and women that
promises to be as popular as the
sportswear garment
Along with the able managerial”
leadership, there have been fine co-
operation and production on the
part of the employees from this
area to help make possible the
steady growth of this young organi-
zation. Clif-Tex Manufacturing Co,
Inc., has meant much to the econ-
omy of this community, and the
citizens of Clifton point to its-
growth with much pride.
