In the second place I noticed
with great personal satisfac.
ton, that the manager treated
every applicant for a job with
as much courtesy as if he wer.
receiving him in his own hom.
In the third place, I got tn.
surprise of my life when I saw
men, who had been told by III.
manager that he could not Civ.
them anything to do just then.
leave the Office with a smil.
and a thank you.
I wondered why men could sm,l.
and say thank you after being told
that there was nothing for them
to do. So I asked one of them what
there was to smile about and why
he said thank you, and he said, in
effect, this:
ooh, the boss, there, Is always kind
to everybody and I like kindness.
I know he would give me a job II
he could. I am coming back again
until I get job with this company,
I want to work here because I am
sure of getting a square deal"
And he went away happy; so did the
others.
However, men keep on applying for
work in the Wilson & Company
plant in spite of the fact that they
know the company Is always full Up
with laborers who never want 10
leave their jobs.
The manager Is the type that Mr.
Wilson selects to deal with his army
of workers. He won't have a man
unless love for his fellows Is thor.
oughly developed in hiu,-unless h.
is a good judge Of human nature
unless he has the quality of Sc
lee ting workers who will keep up
the good fellowship and the loyal
spirit that exists SO markedly in al
departments Of the Wilson q Com
pany plant.
He made no mistake in choosing tbs
manager of the Mems Employment b.
reau, who Is a man of big frame, big
heart. big character and with a big idsa
OF his duty toward his company and
toward his fellow man.
Among tho number who applied for Jobs

| a soldier in uniform HIS appearance
and manner and conversation indicated

The manager told him that he guessed
he had made a mistake in applying b

an office position. or, perha ps, wanted b
