DEAR FOLKS:

WV anu NpnSClentlOuSly to
achieve a result and
you feel down deep that YOU
have succeeded-don't you like
very, VERY much when
somebody 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
OF us to like to hear praise of
our work?
Well, I saw a very happy
group Of workers assembled in
the CANNED GOODS DE-
PARTMENT of the Wilson &
Go. plant, Chicago, on Friday,
March l4th.
I cali your attention to the fact that
Friday, with its SIX LETTERS, car
ries with it good luck. so far as the
wilson a Co. organization is concerned.
1t Tits the Cycle Of Six, which IL such a
dominant factor in the business and
brings so much happiness and success,
In the group of workers was
Thomas f. Wilson, President
of Wilson & Co, who is as in
tense and as enthusiastic as any
of the $4,000 workers in his or
ganization. There were also in
the group three Vice-presi-
dents OF the company. I mem
ton this to prove what l have
been telling you, that the Viii
son & Co, organization repre-
SCENTS DEMOCRACY OF
WORK, which starts with the
head and goes all through the
ranks. One man is as good as
another in this organization
one woman is as good as an-
other; and both men and wom-
en- are on a basis of equality in
the matter of recognition and
reward for service well rem
dered.
Now | will tell you why they
we're so happy;
ALFRED w. MCCAIN, THE FA-
NOUS PURE FOOD EXPERT, HAD
JUST FINISHED TASTING AND
TESTING THE WILSON a 90.
CERTIFIED BRANDS OF CANNED
MEATS, VEGETABLES AND
FRUITS, AND THEN SAID:
~ TAKE OFF MY HAT no
THESE PURE FOOD PRODUCTS
YOU HAVE PRODUCED A VERY
FINE AND A VERY WONDERFUL
LINE. AND l CONGRATULATE
YOU"
Wouldn't It make you happy ~
you, like the Wilson & Co. workers.
had been working hard to perfect
food products and felt sure that
Won had succeeded, to have Mr.. Nc
Cann-a man who knows what pure
food is--tell you that you had
achieved Il wonderful resultP
You bet 1t would.
Well, the Wilson 4 Co. workers
are the same kind OF human beings
as you are--so they were made very
happy when Mr.. Mccain, who had
selected at random from the I'm
mense stocks Of canned goods
cans of Corn, Peas, Beans, AsparaI
gus, Meats, Preserves, etc.--and
had, them opened up and then
tasted and tested them-gave them
his splendid Endorsement.
| know Mr.. Mccain personally
and intimately. He Is an honest
fearless, able man. Nobody OF.
earth has ever yet been able to con
troll his opinions or his pen. Boil
are owned by himself and by no
body else.
| know he meant what he sale
when he told those workers tina
their Certified foods are o, X. In al
particulars, and | know also that
he had not thought they wera'
0. X. in all particulars, the tende1
Of a million dollars cash on the spo
would not have made him indorsd
them.
Mr.. Mccain could have been ricl
by now had he wished to barter hi
honor-hut he has kept himsel
clean and straight-AND POOR, al
most men do who are intent and In
tense in doing things to help and
protect humanity.
| did not know that Mr.. McCanl
was In Chicago until he walked
into the Wilson 4 Co. restaurant
which, by the way, is a big, demo
cratic affair where officials and
workers dine together in the sam
way that members of a famil
meet at their own dining room tai
bles.
He told me he had come to Chi
cago to investigate the Wilson
Co. business because his interes
had been aroused by reading thes
letters that | am writing to you
At the end of the day he was goo
enough to say that he found every
thing exactly as ! have described
to you-that is to say, that Their
is Heart, Honor and the Squar
Deal all throughout the Wilson
Co. organization.
Mr.. Mccain and l once spok
from the same platform at Sagd
more Beach, Mass, where intens
people gather and discuss the bill
problems of the day. l will neve
forget the great ovation Mr., Md
Cam received on that occasion
He is a very dramatic and very in
tense speaker. He had carefully
prepared a speech. but after its id
livery the large audience insiste
