pointed out, “to the increase in
both the minimum and maximum j
benefit amounts authorized by the
60th Legislatu’.er’
60th Legislature.” Since October
1, 1967, the benefit minimum has
been $15.00 rather than $10.00 and
the maximum $45.00 rather than
$37.00. For February the Commis-
sion paid out about 3% more to
claimants than for February last
year but had not the volume of
claims filed decreased substan-
tially the total would have been
higher.

features, made this one of the
most modern plants in the indus-
try.
To keep our plants modern, up-
to-date, and as comfortable as
possible for our employees, it has
become necessary, once again, to
remodel and modernize our fa-
cilities here in McKinney.
Mr. Haggar concluded the
luncheon with this remark, “Over
the years we have found that the
city of McKinney has had the
natural ability and foresight it
takes to keep a city growing and
expanding. We place a tremen-
dous amount of confidence in the
people of McKinney, and that’s
why today I am very pleased to
announce the modernization pro-
gram for McKinney Pant Manuf-
acturing Company.”

| At a recent luncheon held for
I the community leaders of McKin-
ney, Joe Haggar, Jr. made known
the plans for the remodeling and
modernization of the McKinney
Pant Manufacturing Company.
The association of Haggar Com-
pany and the McKinney commun-
ity goes all the way back to 1946,
when one of the first Haggar
plants was founded there. The
first plant was located in a small
brick building in Downtown Mc-
I Kinney.
I In several short years the plan
I outgrew itself and a new plant
I was constructed at the junction
| of East Highway 21 and 121. The
I new facility contained 32,000
| square feet and exactly doubled
I the production capacity of the
I old plant.
I The new plan is completely air
t conditioned, furnishing a plea-
ll sant, comfortable atmosphere in-
I side, regardless of outside tem-
I peratures. Daylight lighting
| throughout the plant provided
| healthful eye comfort, plus a
I recreation area and many other
