Six in the Wilson & Co. or
ganization.
six" plays an important part in
the business.
There are six letters in the word
WILSON. There are six vice
presidents-first aids to Mr..
Wilson. That started the "Six"
idea three years ago this month
when Mr.. Wilson gave his name
and himself to the business. The
workers considered it a good
omen.
And one of the first things done
after Mr.. Wilson took hold was
to adopt a slogan that would
mean something and that would
keep everybody on their toes to
live up to it. The slogan select
ed was:
''The Wilson Label Protects
Your Table"
Please note that there are six
words in this slogan. They are
very important words.
The next thing on the program
was to develop a fine working
spirit in the organization in
which all should take part
workers and officials.
That was done at once. Please
note that there are six letters in
the word Spirit
Now you have had six letters from me
thus far in which have dwelt mainly
on the spirit that exists in the Will
son & Co. organization.
real foundation Of a successful busi-
ness must be built on the heart, the
happiness, the loyalty, the integrity,
the enthusiasm and the pride OF its
workers-coupled with the honest ap-
probation, recognition and co-opera-
ton of the head of the business and his
official family.
The foundation of the Wilson & Co.
business Is built on these six principles,
and that is why it's slogan. The Will
son Label Protects Your Table" means
SO much to the peoples OF the world.
What would this slogan amount to If
1t did not have back Of It the honest
and sincere efforts Of the official fam
lily and it's twenty-five thousand loyal.
earnest workers?
1t would be a scrap of paper only
and the world has had enough of
scraps OF paper"
People want the real thing now. In
food products they are getting 1t un-
der the Wilson label. l am starting
another series OF six letters today In
which / will treat on other angles OF
the Wilson & Co. business. I propose
to stick to the six" idea. Please note
that the word angles" also consists of
six letters.
What 1 mean by angles" is this: ]
propose to show you, for instance,
that tho workers consider that their
own honor 10 involved in producing
foodstuffs that will justify the Com
reassuring to you when il comes 60
buying Wilson 4 Co. products.
1 think it is great, myself. that the
good. pure things to eat supplied by
Wilson & Co. are backed up In their
production by twenty-five thousand
workers who recognize their individual
and who would not, un-
der any circumstances. either wilfully
or deliberately take part In sending out
to their fellow human beings In all
parts of the world, imperfect or impure
food products.
They would not have it on their con-
sciences to do such a thing. and know

them-many in every department OF
the business-and they are imbued
with the spirit to give to the Company
all they have of skill and care and 10y
atty and honor. Take as an illustration
what a Russian workman employed in
the Sausage Department said to me.
