DEAR FOLKS

ali OF the men lab9rerS IN tneSs,
Wilson & Company plant, Chi
cago, are employed invited me
to sit in his Office all of one G
morning and look over the men
who applied for jobs. l accepted
his invitation and ] had most
interesting experience. / will
tell you about it. 20
-aw
In the first place, ] heard prac-
tically every man say: Il want
to worA here, boss, because VIII
son & Company treat men right
and you give them a chance to
get higher up in the ranks when
they make good!' en-
7.da
In the second place, | noticed,
with great personal satisfaction,
that the manager treated every
applicant for a job with as much
courtesy as if he were receiving
| him in his own home.
In the third place, I got the sur
prise of my life when / saw
men who had been told by the
manager that he could not give
them anything to do just then
leave the Office with d smile and
thank you.
/ wondered why men could smile
and say thank you after being told
that there was nothing for them
to do. SO / asked one OF them what
there was to smile about and why
he said thank you, and he said, IN
| effect, this:
"Oh. the boss there, is always KIND
to everybody and l like kindness.
T know he would give me a job II
lhe could. | am coming back again
until | get job with this company
I want to work here because am
sure of getting square deal
And he went away happy; so did
the others.
However. men keep on applying Tor
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
Ileave their jobs.

tWilson selects to deal with his army

spirit that exists SO markedly in
