Petty, Hummei Il Co. is a firm OF business
men. with from four to eight years experience
in the employment business. Our clerks are
all trained and experienced men ana women,
and our business is SO conducted that each de-
par ment has the personal superintenuence Oh
member OF the firm. Long since we we G
convinced that no one man could know the
employment business in ali its details, in every
department We therefore organized our bus
mess into departments, and made each man or
woman that works in our agency speclalist
in one or the other of these departments. NO
one person among us is expected to ,ook aft +
the duties, except e'ely incidentally, OF any
department except his own; t ere nc IS eN-
pected to know absolutely everything that can
re known about the help and situations that
fall in its line.
If man asks for q certain class OF help. he
is at once turned over to the head OF the de-
partment under which his order comes ana Is
frankly told by members OF every other ae-
partment that they know little or nothing
about it-so it is with the help applying ioT
| situations.
| The result is that Petty Hummel & Co. con-
/ sists OF a Household Employment Agency, q
| "Hotel Employment Agency" and rMlscel
laneous tranch, SHOP dairy, etc., etc) Employ
mcnt Agency" all combined and yet WORKING
! entirely distinct q to the selection OF help
To this fact we believe, is largely due oul
| great success. 1t focuses the thoughts and act,
| ivity OF all the workers in our agency, AND
/ places eight men and women. some OF whoH

Our financial responsibility is en- If ly De-

We believe. therefore, we have solved the
