AN OPEN LETTER
70 NV fellow employees:

~ my iSiioW tflpioytco.
Dear Friends: Suppose one of you
were to lose his or her pay envelope
on pay day? What stir 1t would
create, and the news would be all
over the plant in less than no time.
Everybody would turn in and help
find it. That's the spirit!
When the firm, for which we are
all working, loses $500 day on sec-
onds, does it create any kind of a
stir? Does everybody turn in and
help try to rectify this condition?
We do not! Yet this may lead to our
losing our pay envelopes.
Some of you might now say; well,
what's the answer9''
can only speak for myself, and
believe it's lack of realization on
the part of most of you, ard that's
why you do not feel concerned.
Now in order to get this vital mat
ter to you, we are going to inaugurate
quality campaign, and viii desig,
nate the week of July 80 TO August 4
as Quality Week.
Your best efforts as to workman
ship are solicited, as also is the bsst
possible service from the preparatory
departments, in order to enable cur
makers to perform good work.
Comc across, Let's show what we
can do! You can---if you will,
Yours for quality,
