FINE EXAMPLE OF
MODERN EFFICIENCY
Motor Supply Co. of Wichita Falls,
Texas Does Extensive Business
Under Capable Heads.

Wichita Falls (Texas) Times, 7th.
Wichita Falls is justly proud of its
business institutions, and especially
$50 Of the Motor Supply company, To-
Fcal dealers for Ford cars and Ford
son tractors. Any city in the world
Scould quite properly envy such a
modern and eneerprising automobile
| distributing organisation.
At the head of Motor Supply and
Its subsidiaries is ". S. Langford,
Southern gentleman and business
genius extraordinary. Mr.. Langford
has built on rock and for perman-
Fency. One of his most outstanding
| characteristics is his ability to pick
his lieutenants with skill. To them
he gives absolute authority with but
one stipulation-he must have re-
suits.
The man who delivers the results
/; is Frank Queisser, general manager
and first lieutenant under Captain
Langford. Mr.. Queisser is more than
fan able executive. He is efficiency
,,personiied with personality that
wins many friends, both for himself
land for his company. To Mr.. Queis-
(ser belongs much credit. Across the
! desk from the general manager sits
!! w. B. Omohundro, sales and service
Inaanager-and, by the way, he bats
! 400 at selling Fordson tractors. Mr..
Omohundro knows automobiles as
7 few. men ever do. This expert know
ledge combined with exceptional sales
liability, make his services invaluable.
Under the direction of these able
fexecutives Motor Supply functions,
Fand it functions smoothly and eff
Iciently in every department and its
tihter-department relations.
The main building houses the
parts, sales and service departments.
"A representative of the Times accom-
panied Mr., Queisser over the plant,
and everywhere the progressive spirit
was evident. In the parts section
shelf after shelf was filed with Ford
parts, compactly arranged and easy
of access. In the Office there is an
exact and up to date invoice record,
revised every day, showing the
amount of. each item on hand at the
close of business-merely to cite one
instance of how business is done at
Motor Supply.
Then the storage and service de-
partment under Claude Red, man
with a statewide reputation in his
line. The Motor Supply business slo-
gan is ''You must be satisfied. and
il is. easy to- see how even such diff
fcult sounding goal is easy of access
with such a. rigid system of recheck-
ing every job, such complete equip
.ment and such expert workmen..
There is not a hitch nor delay in CIV
ing. a Ford owner service.
Across the street on Indiana is the
assembly plant under William Thorn
ton, where new cars are assembled
and stored, the blacksmith shop, etc.
A little farther up the street is the
used car department where used
Fords are stored and. marketed.
A trip through Mr.. Langford's
plant is an education in modern busi-
ness methods. Like perfectly run
ming, well oiled machinery, there is
not a discordant note. And as Mr..
Queisser explained, the oil that is
applied to the machine is nothing
more than the application of Gold
en- Rule. Every employe knows that
he will be treated right, knows that
his company recognizes him as. hu-
man being with ambitions, hopes and
dreams for, the future. All promo
tions are made out of the organiza
ton, the men are we'll paid and con-
tented. It's a big, happy, efficient
family at Motor Supply company.
