This book is the result of personal first-hand investigation of over three hundred mills in the state which were carefully selected from a wide range of age, size, location, policy, and local reputation. Herring discusses fully the activities of mill managements with respect to schools, churches, athletics, recreation, housing, company stores, general community enterprises, public health, and employee representation.
