i'T want that we shall discover
within our own plant those things
that are not up to the mark. i

an imperfect thing shall go to the
public. In a big organization like
ours of course things will some
times go wrong. but if we all CO.
Operate as we have been doing. I
feel sure that these little slips will
be taken care of in the future"
Now, dear folks, there is nothing
"frilly" about this talk by Mr.. Viii
son to his associate workers, is
there? Doesn't it sound like a real
man talking to other real men?
Can't you see why every worker in
the Wilson & Co. organization is
led on to do his best because he
has respect for his chief and be-
cause he realizes that in this chief
he sees a human being like himself.
impelled to do the big things, by
the same human impulses that
guide all other human beings?
Don't you feel as I do that you can
buy Wilson & Co. products with
safety? Don't you feel that the
slogan Of the Company "The Wilson
Label Protects Your Table" has an
unusual significance? Don't you
believe that any product coming
from the Wilson & Co. plant bear
ling the label Certified" or the i'm
print of the slogan, or both, is
guarantee of quality?
Sincerely,
-- WILLIAM c. FREEMAN.
