carriage of the personnel is some
thing that is worthy of favorable
comment. It fits in well with the
manner you keep your mill in ap
pearance and sanitation. The
neatness and personal appearance
of all the employees is indeed
gratifying.
Third: Your readiness to ad
vertise the products you make. It
is something rarely done in other
establishments. This proves that
where spirit, environment and in
telligence exist, qualities are
bound to be high. If we all com
bine in these qualities we are
bound to succeed and make this
world a pleasant place in which
to live.
