DEAR FOLKS:

do is carefully done, and we must treat fairly and squarely the people we come in contact with in our own organization, as we'll as with the peo- pie we come in contact with outside of our organization.
 By our own conduct will we be judged by the people working for us and by the people outside who buy our products.
 "We must maintain the standard adopted by this Company, which places us in a conspicuous position. I want you all to feel that the Com pany is back of you and with you to the last man. l want you to boost in every way you can, and never let there be any question about the quail ity of the products we are handling. 'We must help one another. We must never be afraid to help the other fellow and give him a lift. You must always be careful to accord the men working under you just and fair and manly treatment.
 "I know how much a kind word is worth. I remember when I started to work in the stock yards-I got twenty dollars a week at my first iob. 1t was hard work in those days and a pat on the back and word of praise when l deserved 1t helped me more than anything else. You men are all making more than twenty dollars week, but you can remem- Der when your pay was small, and you know as we'll as l do how much it has helped you to have those under whom you worked give you credit for good work, and encourage you to do better work. That's how you made your progress, and that is how you can help many others to develop. Let us all pay back the good words and the friendly help we got by passing it along to those who deserve it today.
 Certified products-ham and bacon, and hope you will all do your full share to make these Certified brands the outstanding ones in our line.
 q want you all to feel that this Company Is as much yours as it is mine. l want you to feel that it's success will give you as much satis- faction as it does me. If you all do your part we will all be benefited. Please remember that it is easy to waste in many ways. We must con- serve in every possible way to let our products go to the public at as eco- nomical price possible and at the same time give them quality.
  Let me conclude by suggesting to you that you treat the workers under you with the same consideration that I give to you, and all the other ex- ecutives with me give to you. You can be of tremendous help to me and you can command the respect and the loyalty, and the enthusiasm of the workers that are going along with you day after day. Make them feel the spirit of this business, which is equality to all and a square deal to all.
 "I am mighty thankful for what you have done, and l know that in future alty, and that skill, and that pride fully during the past three years. 1
 
 world over-
 'T want that we shall discover with in our own plant those things that are not up to the mark. I don't want it ever to happen that an im- perfect thing shall go to the public. In a big organization like ours of course things will sometimes go wrong, but if we all cooperate as we have been doing, I feel sure that these little slips will be taken care of in the future"
 Now, dear folks, there is nothing ''frilly" about this talk by MT. Wilson to his associate workers, is there? Doesn't it sound like real man talk ing to other real men? Can't you see why every worker in the Wilson & Co. organization is led on to do his best because he has respect for his chief and because he realizes that in this chief he sees human being like himself, impelled to do the big things, by the same human impulses that guide all other human beings? Don't you feel as I do that you can buy Wilson < Co. products with safe- ty? Don't you feel that the slogan of the Company "The Wilson Label Protects Your Table" has an unusual significance? Don't you believe that any product coming from the Wilson & Go. plant bearing the label 'Certi- fled or the imprint of the slogan, or both, is guarantee of quality?
 Sincerely,
 WILLIAM c. FREEMAN, 25O Fifth Avenue, New York City.
