PHELPS DODGE IS MEETING PROBLEMS
 OF ITS EMPLOYEES
Establishment of Store Club house Proves Big Copper Queen Concern in Line of Phil anthropiC Progress.


 ] try, which, during the past few years have realized the truth that a coop perative attitude towards the needs of their employees is as essential to the i success of their business as is any other aggressive endeavor for finan- cial progress, the Phelps Dodge store has demonstrated a spirit of interest in the social advantages of its large force stamping the concern as one in thorough accord with the great countrywide movement which carries in it's wake all the great essentials of business and sociological advance ment
 1 Credit for the latest instance of the line Of endeavor cited should be given all the leaders of the great Phelps Dodge Mercantile enterprise. How ever there is one person who more than all others. deserves the thanks and praise of the employees of that establishment for generous fore thought and activity which have made possible the foundation of the Phelps { Dodge store club which is now so com fortably established in the beautiful club house on the hill back of the store Mrs, w. H. Brophy is the lady whose particular interest and gener- ous display of unselhsh endeavor took the initiative action in the plan Elm ployees of the Phelps Dodge store ex- press thorough appreciation of her unselfish interest, many words of praise having been heard from the salesladies of the establishment who especially benefit by the advantages of the clubhouse
 It is, of course. the salesladies who derive the everyday advantages of the club. although the frequent dancing parties and general social events af- ford delightful recreational affairs for the men of the store Appreciative of the fact that the cooperation of the men was necessary for the com plete success of the plan, the prime movers in the scheme were not slow to decide that "a representative of the sterner sex should be placed at the executive head of the club. Accord ngly Dr. w. F. Haas. manager of the pharmaceutical department of the Phelps Dodge store, was chosen presi- dent Dr. Haas has so often displayed such an aggressive and result-gettins l interest in the prosecution of any ac- tiyities for the promotion of the com mon welfare of the employees that his election seemed but a natural choice and a deserved tribute to his often eyinced interest in the welfare of all the employees and his business associates. Two ladies of the store, , of recognized ability and fitness for the positions, were elected to the oth- ] CT important offices, Mrs Jennie Ack- | CTS being chosen vice-presideut, and ] Miss Ella Callahan secretary treasurer ! A noon-tide visit to the cozily-ap- pointed clubhouse found a group of young salesladies partaking of their i midday lunch All the advantages ' of g nicely appointed bungalow dining room were in evidence. Close at hand was a convenient kitcheuette where skilled feminine hands prepared the daintiest varities Of the culinary art, including delectabe chafing dish prep Iarations and dainty salads.
 The rest and music room of the club house is a unique creation patterned after the much-favored mission type of interior design Simplicity marks the appointments, although comfor- table restful looking chairs and diyans complete a harmonious effect of sooth- ing ease doubly welcome after the strenuous duties attendant upon the constant cares of a large mercantine establishment
 It is understood that little later the men of the store will install a
 piano but, at present, the musical tastes of the salesladies are catered to by victrola. constant supply of the newest and most artistic rec ord of the modern masters of music is On hand
 One cannot gain an exaggerated
 idea of the important role which this attractive clubhouse plays in the daily lives of the army of Phelps Dodge
 salesladies. For the many whose homes are SO far away as to render
 the partaking of the monday lunch at home entirely out of the question,
 the advantage of the clubhouse sup lply a most crucial need. As "a cozy, restful retreat where the recreational
 hour may be spent in peaceful quiet
 or with the solace of music or some current book or magazine, the adyan-
 tages of the clubhouse can not be oy- errated.
 In the public mind perhaps the op- lportunity which the clubhouse affords
 for frequent informal dancing parties may assume the largest importance. Those parties win be frequent feat
 Ures in the lives of the store employees.
 Viewing the institution from any 5 angle, one cannot but consider it of , immense advantage, both recreational
 and social, to the employees of the Phelps Dodge store
