The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1913-05-15
Letter from David Hill. /;

Mr.. A. w. knight, Edit Bamberg
Herald, Bamberg, S. &.
Dear Mr.. Knight: l was coming
home from Cleveland few days ago
on the interurban car when l saw the
beauty of the country up here during
Spring. The car did not go as fast
as the regular passenger trains ana l
had a good opportunity to see. Tne
road from here to Cleveland is sltu-
ated on a bluff which is said to have
formed the shore line of Lake Erie
at one time. The change is due to
glacial action and today we have
some beautiful evidences of the work
of the ancient glaciers in this part
of the country. The foliage is very
pretty now and has reached the stage
of growth that is generally reached
in the first few weeks in April in
South Carolina. Spring is very well
come to take the place of the terrible
Winter which we have experienced.
Since May has ushered in such warm
weather there has been more or less
suffering from heat in this part OF
the country. 1t was hotter in Cleve-
land Saturday, May 3rd, than it has
been at that time of the year in, AZ
years.
In my observation I have noticed
one predominating principle in busl-
ness, that is competition. If per-
son wanted to go from Buffalo to
Cleveland he could choose one of four
different lines over which to travel.
The Lake Shore Road which has one
of the finest beds in the world, has
four track system between these
points.' The Nickel Plate Road oper-
ates a good train which takes care of
a large amount of the transportation
between these cities, the Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio Ry. Co. operate an
electric line which gives an hourly
train out of each of these cities, then
the boats of the different lines have
begun to plough their way through
the waters of Lake Erie and great
many pleasure seekers as we'll as 9TH
ers take the advantage of the low
rates on the boats and the delightful
rides on the lake steamers. While
riding on a Lake Shore car the other
day l could command view of all OF
the four paths of transportation l
have lust mentioned at the same
time. I'll tell you that these Yank--
ees don't sleep at night for the rea-
son that they are thinking of max
ing more of the game than the other
fellow can. The manager of this
company, The Tungstolier Works OF
General Elec. Co., has organized a
study class, over which he presides,
in order that he may help to train
the employees under his supervls-
ion the use of proper methods OF
business. A great deal of benefit
has been derived from the lectures
which he has given in these weekly
| meetings.
The idea which prompted him to
organize these men into a class OF
students was this: How can we
expect men to do the best for them
selves and for the company if they
don't know what the best is and
how to do it after they know the best
! thing to do?" l have just sighted
these things to you to give an exam
pie of the far-sightedness Of the
| Northern business man.
Mr.. Knight I want you to send me
The Herald beginning with the next
weeks paper.
Wishing you much success in your
undertakings and those who are con-
nected with you in making The Her
aid the best county paper in the
South, I am truly yours,
DAVID B. HILL,
Tungstolier Works of Gen. Elec. Co.
