By all residents Of the state IN the
wonderful example being set By the

Mr.. Mcdowell pointed to the fact
that the Latex Company has be-
come a national symbol for pro-

latiOns. He said that the Playtex
Employee Security and Benefit
Program was Of everlasting credit
not only to Dover and the sur
rounding community, but to the en-
tire State Of Delaware as we'll.
There was a. time" he said,
when the mention Of the State Of
Delaware brought 70 mind the City
Of Wilmington. But nowadays, as
the Latex Company continues to
expand year by year and your IA
nous employee benefit program
grows greater and still greater, the
word Delaware has also come to
mean 'Playtex Park in the minds
Of millions Of people throughout
( the United States"
It is significant that Mr.. Spanel
paid great tribute to Colonel John
