TALKING OF BUSINESS :
Behold the Aging Appliance;
GE Boosts Service Efforts
BY JOHN SHERWOOD
Star Staff Writer

Most people come to know
the noncompliance repairman
as an irascible superman.
Confident as a Caesar, he
has quelled many an anxious
homeowner with his icy, side
ways glance. His silence while
standing knee-deep in cellar
water, re-assembling the parts
left over from amateurish eff
forts to repair the washing ma
chine, is masterful One-Up-
manship.
But in the world of electric
gadgets where service COM
plants have reached a Gre
scendo today, there is sign Of
change. The old-fashioned re-
pairman may become a thing
of the past unless he looks up
the definition of customer re-
lationship."
General Electric and other
large corporations have done
so.
Service Today
GE this week opened a serv-
ice center for small appliances
at 1905 Wisconsin avenue NV.
Before company officials could
cut the red ribbon, a customer
barged in with a GE steam
iron in her grasp.
when do you want to pick
it up?" asked Maurice O'Con-
nell, store manager. The wom-
an looked up as if Mr.. O'Con-
nell had dropped the iron on
her toe. To-Day" she replied,
slowly shaking her he d.
"Fine!" smiled the manager.
The customer seemed a little
dazed and walked away looking
as if she had just put some
thing over on some one.
This is the new look in GUS
toner relationship. The big
corporations realize that if not
satisfied with the service, the
buyer often looks to different
manufacturers when acquiring
another, or the same. product.
General Electric had about
a dozen of these company
owned "servicecenters" in 1857.
Today there are 38 throughout
the country - IL alone set up
during the last year.
Service Guidelines
The following instructions
have been distributed in MINI
eographed form by GE to guar
antee customer satisfaction and
personalized service:
BE attentive. Do not do
something else while (the Gus
toner is talking.
Your facial expression and
tone of voice should be pleas
ant.
Avoid contradicting or ar
guing with a customer. You
may win the battle and lose the
war.
Never criticize a customer
or her appliance. Be very hum
BILE, understanding and sympa-
thetic. DO n OF assume a SUI
perior attitude.
"All of our actions must
convince the customer that we
sincerely consider him or her
a fellow human being, a per-
sonal friend - If you will. and
that we are intensely concerned
about solving her individual
problem"

Relief Credit Buying
Probe Starts Monday

The District Welfare Depart
ment will begin an investigation
Monday of luxury buying on
credit by relief recipients.
The investigation will start
with a check of q loan COM
pany's records that show credit
purchases by welfare recipients
of television sets and furniture
at downtown stores.
Gerard Shea, welfare direc-
tor, said the major question to
be answered is whether the buy
ers are able to make the credit
payments from welfare checks
alone. The luxury item pur-
chases, revealed yesterday in
The Star, raises the question of
whether the recipient has some
unreported income source, Mr..
Shea noted.

Mr.. Shea said the investiga-
tion could not start until Mon
