ours of course things will some.
times go wrong, but if we all CO.
operate as we. have been doing.
feel sure that these little slips will

Now. dear folks. there is nothing
"frilly" about this talk by Mr.. viii.
son to his associate workers. il
there? Doesn't it sound like a real
man talking to other real menu
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 because hs
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 cam
buy Wilson & Co. products with
safety Don't you feel that the slo-
gan of the Company The Wilson
Label Protects Your Table" has an
unusual signihcancea Don't you be-
lieve that any product coming from
the Wilson & Co. plant bearing the
label Certified" or the imprint OF
the slogan, or both, is a guarsn
of quality?
Sincerely, y
