My.Mother, Mary Reid worked at Proper Pride I think from 1962-1966. She was an overlocker. She remembers being rewarded for completing so many pieces; the reward was a make over. She said the make up was very thick, sixties style. My Dad worked in the cutting room. Was it then called Hawkins. and then Kayser?
