DEAR FOLKS:

DEAh FOLh-O. WHEN you work hard and w conscien i ously to W achieve a result; and you feel down deep that you have succeeded - don't you like it very, VERY much when somebody comes along that you know is an expert and he tells you that your work is splendid and he congratlllates you?
 Is it not just human for all of us to like to hear praise of our work?
 We'll, I saw very happy group of workers assembled in the CANNED GOODS DE- APARTMENT of the Wills on & Go. plant, Chicago, on Friday, March 14th.
 I call your attention to the fakt that Friday with it's SIX LETTERS Earries with if good luck so far as the Wilson X Co organization is concerned. It fits the Cycle of Six. which is such al domi- nant factor in the business and brings su much happiness and success.
 In the group of workers was Thomas E. Wilson, Preside ant of Wilson < Co.,, who is as in tense and as enthusiastic as al ly of the 25,000 workers in h Is or ganization. There were also in the group three Vice-bresi- dents of the company. l men, tion this to prove what l have been telling you, that the Will son & Go. organization r epre- sents D E M o c R A c Y OF WORK, which starts with the head and goes all through the ranks. One man is as good as another in this organization; one woman is as good as an- other; and both men and women are on a basis of equal ity in the matter of recognition and reward for service we'll rendered.
 1 Now I will tell you why they were so happy:
 ALFRED w. MCCAIN, THE, FA- NOUS PURE FOOD EXPERT, HAD JUST FINISHED TASTING AND TESTING THE WILSON & co. CERTIFIED BRANDS OF CANNED MEATS, VEGET ABLES AND FRUITS, AND THEN SAID:
 T TAKE OFF MY HAT TO YOU HAVE PRODUCED A VERY LINE, AND I CONGRATULATE YOU"
 Wouldn't it make you happy if you, like the Wilson & Go. workers, had been working hard to perfect food products and felt sure that you had succeeded, to have MT. Nc Cam "a man who knows what pure food is-tell you that you had achieved a wonderful result?
 You bet it would.
 Well. the Wilson & Co., workers are the same kind of human beings as you are-so they were made very happy when Mr. McCann, who had selected at random from the inn mense stocks of canned goods-cans of Corn, Peas, Beans, Asparagus, Meats, Preserves, etc.-and had them Iopened up and then tasted and tested them-gave them his splendid indlorse- ment.
 I know MT. McCann personally and intimately. He is an honest, fearless, able man. Nobody on earth has ever vet been able to control his opinions or his pen. Both are owned by him. self and by nobody else.
 I know he meant what he said when he told those workers that their Certified foods are O. K. in all par ticulars, and l know also that II he had not thought they were o. k. in all particulars, the tender of mil lion dollars cash on the spot would not have made him indorse them.
 MT. McCann could have been rich bv now had he wished to barter his honor-but he has kept himself clean and straight-AND POOR, as most men do who are intent anc in- tense in doing things to help and pro- tect Humanity.
 I did not know that MT. McGann was in Chicago until he walked into the Wilson & Go. restaurant, which,
 by the way, is big, democratic af- fair where officials and workers dine together in the same way that mem
 bers of family meet at their own
 dining room tables.
 He told me he had come to Chicago
 to investigate the Wilson X Co. pus- \ mess because his interest had been : aroused by reading these letters that / I am writing to you. At the end of
 the day he was good enough to say
 that he found everything exactly as
