Aileen pressed
by sagging sales
As the small creeks around Flint Hill rose higher and higher last Thursday, the Aileen Plant temporarily closed down at 2:30 p.m.
Unfortunately the flood waters had only a little to do with it. Plant manager Charles Currence said Tuesday that the plant was closed from Thursday afternoon until Tuesday morning.
‘Things have been a little bit slow,” he said.
“The firm has been doing a little bit of adjusting,” he added. “Our outlet stores across the country have been hit by bad weather and our sales are down, ” he said.
“We expect to bounce back,” he said, but he isn’t quite sure how soon that will happen. “We may have to have a few Friday’s off yet but that remains to be seen,” he said.
Mr. Currence declined to say if the plant would be open or closed this Friday.
“I just don’t know, yet,” he said.
