DEAR FOLKS:

M HEN you WORK nara anu
w conscientiously to achieve
q result and you feel down
deep that you have succeeded
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
congratulates you?
Is it not just human for all
OF us to like to hear praise Of
our work?
Well, | saw II very happy
group Of workers assembled in
the CANNED GOODS DE-
PARTMENT of the Wilson 4
Co. plant, Chicago, on Friday,
March 14th.
] call your attention to tho fact that
Friday with Its SIX LETTERS carries
With II good luck so far as tho Wilson
q co. Organization IL concerned n fits
inc Cycle of SIX. which In such a doml-
nsnt factor In the business and brings
so much happiness and success
In the group Of workers was Thomas
Z. Wilson, President OF Wilson h Co,
VINO is as intense and enthusiastic as
any OF the 5000 workers in his or
ganilatlon There were also in the
group three Vice.presiden,s of the
company ! mention this to prove what
! have been telling YOU, iha, the Will
son u Co. organization represents
DEMOCRACY OF WORK. which
starts with the head and goes all
through the ranks. One man is a.
good as another in this organization:
ono woman is as good as another: and
both men and women are on basis
ot equality in the matter oi recognition
and reward for service well rendered.
Now | will tell you why they were
so happy,
ALFRED W. McCANN, THE FA-
NOUS PURE FOOD EXPERT. HAD
JUST FINISHED TASTING AND
TESTING THE WILSON 4 co.
CERTIFIED BRAND OF CANNED
MEATS, VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS, AND THEN SAID:
~ TAKE OFF MY HAT TO
THESE PURE FOOD PRODUCTS.
YOU HAVE PRODUCED A VERY
FINE AND A VERY WONDERFUL
LINE, AND CONGRATULATE
YOU"
Wouldn't il max. you happy. il
YOU like the Wilson & Co workers,
had been working hard to perfect food
products and iel, sure that you had
succeeded, to have Mr.. MoCann--
man who knows what pure food is
tell YOU that you had achieved a won
deriul result,
You bee it would.
Well, the Wilson h 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 immense stocks OF
canned goods-cans of Corn, Peas,
Beans, Asparagus, Meats, Preserves,
etc and had 'lwm opened up and
then tasted and tested them.-gave
them his splendid endorsement,
! know Mr., McCann personally and
intimately. He is an honest, fearless.
able man. Nobody on earth ha, 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 these workers that their Certi-
lied foods are o. X in all particulars.
and ] know also that il he had not
thought they were o. X. in all par,icu.
lars, the tender OF a millions dollar,
cash on the spot would not have made
him endorse them.
Mr.. McCann could have been rich
by now had he wished 10 barter his
honor-but he has kept himself clean
and straightv-AND POOR. as most
men do who are intent and intense in
doing things to help and protect hu-
manity.
! did not know tina, Mr. Mccain
was in Chicago until he walked into
the Wilson & Co. restaurant, which bv
the way, is big, democratic affair
where official, and workers dine to-
gether in the same way that members
OF family meet at their own dining
room tables.
He told me that he had come 10 Chi
eago TO investigate the Wilson 4 Co.
business because his interest had been
aroused by reading these letters that I
am writing TO you. At the end of the
day he wa, good enough to say tina,
he found everything exactly as have
described II to you--that is to say, that
there Is Heart. Honor, and Square
Deal all throughout the Wilson 4 Co.
organization.
Mr. McCann and once spoke from
The same platform At Sycamore Beach,
Mass, where intense people gather
and discuss the big problems Of the
day. I will never forget the great
ovation Mr.. McCann received on that
occasion. He Is q very dramatic and
very intense speaker. He had carefully
prepared speech but after its delivery
The large audience insisted on his con-
'inuing 10 talk. THEY WANTED
TO HEAR MORE ABOUT HIS
CRUSADE AGAINST IMPURE
FOODS.
He talked for an hour longer, and
lhen the audience consented TO his
