DEAR FOLKS:

Ieel down deep that you have
succeeded - don't you like il
very, VERY much when some.
body 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 oi
us to like to hear praise of ouI
work? ......... ..........,.
Well, I saw a very happy
group of workers assembled in
the CANNED GOODS DE.
PARTMENT of the Wilson &
Co. plant, Chicago, on Friday
March 18th.
1 call your attention to the fact
that Friday with Its SIX LETTERS
carries with Ii good luck so fur ms
the Wilson d Co. organization il
concerned. Ii fits the Cycle of Six.
which Is such n dominant factor in
the business md brings 80 much hap
pincss nnd success.
In the group of workers was
Thomas E. Wilson, President OF
Wilson & Co., who is aseintense
and as enthusiastic as; any of the
$4,000 workers in his organiza-
ton. There were also in the
group three Vice-presidents of
the company. l mention this to
prove what l have been telling
you, that the Wilson & Co. or.
ganlzation represents DEMOC-
RACY OF WORK, which starts
with the head and goes all
through the ranks. One man is
as good as another in this organ
lzatlon; one woman is as good
as another; and both men and
women are on basis of equality
IN the matter of recognition and
reward for service we'll rend-
cred.
Now l will tell you why they
were so happy:
ALFRED w. MCCAIN, THE FA.
NOUS PURE FOOD EXPERT HAD
JUST FINISHED TASTING AMI
TESTING THE WILSON & co
CEkTlFIED BRANDS OF CANNED
II A rs, VEGETABLES Ann
FRUITS, AND THEN SAID:
II TAKE OFF MY HAT To
IhESE PURE FOOD PRODUCTS.
nOU HAVE PRODUCED A VERY
YOU" liza +
wouldn't II make you happy n
you, like the Wilson & Co. workers
mad been working hard to pcrfcct
iood products and felt sure that Won
iiad succeeded, to have Mr.. McCann
IA man who knows what pure food
ls-tcll YOU that you had achieved n
wonderful result?
You bet it would.
Well, the Wilson & Co. workers
are the same kind of human beings
as you are-so they were made very
happy when MFR. McCann, who haI
sclected at random from the i'm
mehsc stocks of canned goods-cans
oi Corl' Tea, Beans, Asparagus,
Nicats, preserves, etc.-and had them
opened up and then tasted and
'as'eu them,-gave them his spIcn-
did endorsement.
know Mr.. Mccain personally
ana intimately. He is an honest.
fearless, able man. Nobody on Garth
has ever vet been able to control
his opinions or his pen. Both arc
owned by himself and by nobody
else.
know he meant what he said
when hc told those workers that
their Certified foods are o. X. i'm all
particulars, and i know also that if
nc mad not thought they were o. X.
In all particulars, the tender OF n
million dollars cash on the spot
would not have made him endorse
them.
Mr.. McCann could have been rich
by now had he wished to barter his
honor - but he has kept himself
clean and straight-AND POOR. ms
most men do who arc intent and in
tense in doing things to help and
protect Humanity.
1 did not know that MFR. McCann
was in Chicago until he walked into
the Wilson Il Co. restaurant, which,
by the way, is n big, democratic af.
fair where officials and workers dine
together I'm the same way that MEM
bcrs of family meet at their own
diningroom tables.
He told me he had come to Chi
cagO to investigate the Wilson &
Co. business because his interest had
been aroused by reading these let
ters that 1 am writing to you. At
the end of the day he was good
enough to say that he found every
thing exactly as I have described 1t
to you-that is to say, that there is
Heart, Honor, and the Square Deal
all throughout the Wilson s. Co. or
ganization.
Mr.. McCann and once spoke
from the same platform at Saga
more Beach, Mass, where intense
people gather and discuss the big
problems of the day. will never
forget the great ovation Mr.. Mccain
received OH that occasion. He Is a
speaker. He had carefully prepared
n speech but after Its delivery the
large audience insisted on his con-
tinuing to talk. THEY WANTED
TO HEAR MORE ABOUT HIS
CRUSADE AGAINST I'M T. U r. T.
FOODS.
