COURTESY FIRST"
CHALMERS RULE

Life Is not so short but that
there Is always time enough FOR
courtesy" reads small card in the
visitors waiting room in the Detroit
plant OF the Chalmers Motor com
pany.
Of late months, this sentiment
has taken on new meaning
through the Efforts of vice-Presi-
dent and Assistant General Mana
ger c. A. Pfeffer. Passing through
the waiting room on his way to MS
office, Mr.. Pfeffer noticed in the past
that solicitors and business repre-
sentatives OF outside concerns were
sometimes kept waiting from twenty
to thirty minutes before obtaining
an interview with the man to whom
they had sent In their cards.
To eliminate unnecessary waiting
Mr.. Pfefrer ordered special CARDS
printed, on which the attendant IN
the ante-room notes the names OF
callers kept waiting over ten min
utes. After that period OF time has
elapsed, the name Of the party re-
sponsible for the delay, and the
name Of the caller, are noted, and
complaint made to the vice-presi-
dents office.
