DEAR Folks

I1own deep that you have sue
ceeded-don't you like it very,
VERY much when somebody
ZONES along that you know IS
an expert and he tells you that
your work is splendid and he
congEatulateS you.
Is it not just human for all of
tlsst Ikesto -heaFspFaise Of our
work -
We'll saw i Very happy
group Of WORKERS assembled in
! the CANNED GOODS DE-
PARTMENT of the Wilson &
Co. plant, Chicago, on Friday,
March f4th.
that Friday with its SIX LETTERS
carries With Il good luck 50 far as
the Wilson e Co os-ofganisation Is con
eerned. IL fits the Cycle 81 Six, which
is such dominant factor in the bus
ness and brings so much happiness
and success. .s-
In the group, of workers was
| Thomas E. Wilson, President of
Wilson & Co.. who IS as intense
and as enthusiastic as any of the
IS, 900 workers. in his oTganiza-
ton. There were also in the
group three, Vice-preSidentS of
the company. Emention this to
prove what ! have been telling
you, that the wilson & Co. or
ganization represents DEMOC-
|RACY OF WORK, which starts
with the head and goes al
Through the ranks. One, man is
as good as another in this or
ganizatiOn; one woman is as
good as another; and both men
and women are on a basis Of
equality in the matter Of recog-
milton and reward for service
well rendered.
Now L will tell you why they
were so happy:
ALFRED W. MeCANN, THE FA.-
NOUS PURE FOOD EXPERT HAD
JUST FINISHED TASTING AND
TESTING THE WILSON e co.
CERTIFIED BRANDS or CAN
NED MEATS, VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS:
Il TAKE OFF MY HAT TO
THESE PURE FOOD PRODUCTS.
YOU. HAVE PRODUCED al VERY
FINE AND A VERY WONDER
FUL LINE, AND CONGRATU.
LATE YOU"
Wouldn't it make you happy If
you, like the Wilson & Co. workers
had been working, hard to perfect :
food products and felt sure that you
had succeeded, to have Mr.. Mccain
IA man who knows what pure food
is-teH you that you had achieved q
wonderful result?
You bet it would.
Wei, the WiIsonS& Co. workers
are the same ki1d Of human beings
as you are-so they were made very
happy when Mr.. McCann, who had
selected at random from the i'm
nense stocks Of canned goods-cans
of Corn, Peas, Beans, Asparagus,
Meats, Preserves, etc.-and had them
opened up and then tasted and
tested them-gave them his splen-
did endorsement,
1 know Mr.. MeCann personally
and intimately. He is an honest,
fearless, able man. Nobody on earth
has ever yet been able TO control
his opinions or his pen. Both are
owned by himself and by nobody
else.
know he meant what he said
when he told those workers that
their Certified foods are o. x. in all
particulars, and / know also that if
ne had not thought they were o. X.
in all particulars, the tender Of
million dollars cash on the spot
would not have made him endorse
them.
Mr.. McCann could have been rich,
by now had he wished to barter his
honor-but he has kept himsek (.
clean and straight-AND POOR as
most men do who are-intent and in
tense IN doing things to help and
protect Humanity.
/ did not know that Mr.. Mccain .
was in Chicago until he walked into
the Wilson & Co. restaurant, whieh,
by the way, is a big, democratic AZ
fair where officials and workers dine
together IN the same way that mem
bers Of a family meet at their own
dining room tables.
He told me he had come to Chi.
cago to investigate the Wilson &
Co. business because his interest had
been aroused by reading these let
ters that l am writing to you. At
the end of the day he was good
to say that he found every
thing exactly as l. have described it
TO you-that is to say, that there is
Heart, Honor, and the Square Deal
all throughout the Wilson & Co. or
ganizStion.
Mr.. Mccain and ! once spoke from
the same platform at Sycamore Beach,
Mass, where intense people gathe
and discuss the big problems OF the
