The program. II was added. will
have definite place in the post

There's no magic, no Jack-out-

It's based on sound division of
profits to the employees who help
the company earn them each
month.
During the 'rontn of July, 1913,
IS hours OF production time were
lost" the employees were told when
the program was formally intro
duced.
However the company made
it's legitimate profit. Therefore, if
the 68 hours had not been lost, the
profits of the company would have
been increased by several thou
sand dollars. These additional
funds are not needed to maintain
the COMPANY in good physical and
financial condition. Inasmuch as
the company is not interested in
higher profits bit is keenly inter.

Here's how the plan-great pains
have been taken to keep it as SIM
pie as possible--operates:
The estimated amount of prof.
its to be shared will be published
weekly and is to be paid as fol

Ninety per cent of the earned
sum is to he distributed monthly
