Are Rental Uniforms For You?

Executives throughout commerce and industry have found that what their employees wear on the job has a tremendous influence on the attitude of the worker towards his work as well as the organizaton's public image.

As a result, an ever increasing number of the nation's work force is being clothed in attractive, distinctive uniforms. These garments are generally supplied on rental programs from industrial launderers .throughout the nation.

By renting these garments, employers enjoy the benefits of having

Western their employees neatly attired, and with the addition of a company's logo, properly identified.

Garments supplied by industrial Iaunderers come in a variety of styles and fabrics for all purposes. For example, some are made to resist acids and/or caustic materials, others are specifically treated to be flame resistant, others are styled and fitted for employees whose ap-

Lumber and Bullding Materialc MERCHANT pearance is important to the company's public image.

According to the Institute of Industrial Launderers, many employers have also found that providing workers with attractive, wellfitting unilbrms helps boost morale and reduce turn-over by making the individual feel more a part of a team effort and more readily identifiable to those outside the orsanization.

The next time the storms are fierce in the mountains just above us, and your regular supplier is only slightly more accessible than the top of Mount Everest, be glad Kimberly-Clark chose to build its thoroughly modern, fully automated, completely computerized mill down where the birds still sing and the roads are passable. lf at first you don't succeed, turn back to Kimberly-Clark. Chances are we can load you up even before your frostbite recedes.

We don't mind being second choice once in a while.

Many of our "drop-ins" decide to make Kimberly-Clark first choice every time.
