QUALITY DEPARTMENT

We notice a tendency on the part
of individuals TO hurry the work, in
preparatory departments as well as
in making. To be speedy is all
right, if you don't neglect quality.
A customer don't give tinker's
damn whether ticket of shoes is
being made in hours or hours,
but if they are not made right, he
will soon return them. When, for
instance, cutter sights the skive
or outsoles, or neglects to give the
proper bevel on friction forms, he
retards the maker, that he may get
done in hurry himself. Have a
little more consideration for the man
or girl who performs the next oper-
alton after you, and if we do this
all along the line, we will soon notice
an improvement in quality.
