DEAR FOLKS

NJ =
' trips through the VIII
son & Company plant, Chi
cago, / made it a point to
find out if the women-work-
ers we're contented. I know
by experience that if worn-
en- look cheerful and act
happily it is a sure sign that
all is well-that it is a very
good reflector of the charac-
ter and heart of a business.
l must say l was greatly i'm
pressed, and very much pleased
as | visited departments i'll the
Wilson & Company plant-par-
ticularly those departments
where women stand alongside
of the men laborers and do their
work skillfully and cheerfully
These good women themselves
told me that they like their work
very much, and they said it so
earnestly and frankly that there
was no mistaking the sincerity
of their words.
I have visited many business insti-
tutions in my lifetime where many
women are employed. | am glad to
say that in great many instances
these business institutions really
desire to make their wome1-work-
ers happy and comfortable, which
is greatly to the credit of the men
who conduct them.
But practically in every institution
visited there seemed to be some
thing lacking-something that re-
strained the happy looks and the
laughter | saw and heard in the
ranks of the women workers in
the Wilson & Company plant.
The good will. enthusiasm and the
fine spirit they show in their work
so unusual in my experience-set
me to asking questions. | felt there
was some extraordinary condition
existing that produced such wave
of contentment.
And I soon found out.
First, / learned that Mr. Wilson
himself enjoys splendid reputa-
tion among the women-workers
They have unbounded faith in him
as q man. They appreciate his kind
ness, sympathy and consideration.
But Mr.. Wilson himself cannot do
everything. He has to delegate
power to others, but, in choosing
those to represent him, he makes
sure to find men and women of
character and heart and ability and
engaging personality.
He found jewel in a little Bohe-
mian young woman-25 years old
on whom he placed the responsible
ty of employing and directing the
women-workers in the plant.
This young woman, as / soon dis
covered, is the key that opens the
doors to the happy working eondi-
tions that prevail. She has won

daily touch with her army OF wom-
en-workers-more than 1,100 of
them She studies their comforts.
She loves them and shows that she
loves them They love her and they
show that they love her.
How many women readers of this
letter would like to undertake the
task of leading over l.100 women
workers and keeping them happy?
It is a very big undertaking; but
this little woman (she's not much
bigger than pint of cider) loves
the work so much that she gets the
greatest joy of her life in the do
ing of it
She docs her work because she
loves to help others. She feels that
she is in position where, by kind
acts, she can help to brighten the
lives of a host of wornen-workers :;
, that she can help to teach them our
, American customs and our Ian
guage; that she can develop in them
the love of the beautiful in their
home lives; that she can make them
as proud to live in America and to
become American citizens as she
herself is proud to live here and TO
be loyal, true-blue American eiti-
zen.

And an because THE MAN WHO leads the
