Folks

Wilson e. Company plant
Chicago, are employed, in.
Wted me to sit in his offico
all of one morning and look
over the men who applied for
Jobs. | accepted his invita-
ton and | had most inter 20
esting experience. | will tell
you about it.
In the first place ! heard
practically every man say: T
want to work here, boss be.
cause Wilson & COMPANY
treat men right and give YOU
a chance to get higher up
in the ranks when they make
good !"
In the second place | noticed
with great personal satisfac.
ton, that the manager
treated every applicant for a
job with as much courtesy as
if he were receiving him in
his own home.
In the third place, ! got the
surprise of my life when I
saw men, who had been told
by the manager that he
could not give them anything
to do just then, leave the Of.
flee with smile and a thank
you.
! wondered why men could srn.
and say thank you after being told
that there was nothing for them 10
DO. So | asked one OF them what
there was to smile about and why h.
said thank you, and he said in e,.
feet. this:
"Oh, the boss. there. Is always kind
TO everybody and like kindness. |
know he would give me IA job II he
could. | am coming back again un.
I'll get "A Job with this company
want TO work here because | am
sure OF getting a square deal"
And he went away happy, so did
the others.
However. men kept on applying Tor
work in the Wilson d Company
plant in spite of the fact that they
know the company is always full ur
with lahorers who never want TO
leave their Jobs
The manager is the type that M
! Wilson selects to deal with his army
OF workers. Ho won't have man
| unless love for his fellows is thor.
oughly developed in him--unless he
Is good judge OF human nature
unless he has tho quality OF select.
! ing workers who will keep up the
| good fellowship and the loyal spirit
! that exists so markedly in all de.
partments of the Wilson & Com.
pany plant.
