the cotton factory has always been a "people first" kind of place. the imperial cotton company produced a quarterly newsletter called, "the fabricator", to bring news to the staff about group insurance plans, a cafeteria unit that seated 165 people, upgrades of new technology such as electric refrigerators and a newly purchased lunchroom piano by the entertainment committee. news among the staff members are also featured in the fabricator, highlighting marriages, births, and deaths and recounted vacation stories by the mill employees.
