WANT AN S800 A WEEK JOB? He was reading the classified section of his newspaper and was nearly jolted out of his seat by the following “Help Wanted” notice; EXPERIENCED LATHE OPERATOR — PAY UP TO $800 A WEEK. PLEASE BRING OWN TOOLS. He reread the ad, figured it must be a misprint. Then, thinkmg there was nothing to lose, he hopped into his car and went down to the office of the plant running the advertisement. The Employment Manager asked him a couple of questions: EMPLOYMENT MANAGER: “What experience have you had? HE: “Twelve years as a lathe operator.” EMPLOYMENT MANAGER: “That’s fine. One thing, do you own your own X-302 Hubble terret lathe?” HE: “You must be kidding. In case you don’t know it, one of those things can run around a quarter of a million bucks.” EMPLOYMENT MANAGER: “Too bad. I’m afraid the job calls for someone with all his own tools.” . . , Does this sound crazy? Maybe. But when you stop to think for a minute, it s pretty nice not having to pack around your own lathe, looms, slasher, cards, or spinning frames, let alone having to pay for them and keep them up. Because such tools go with a job, it’s easy to take for granted where they come from... where the money comes from to keep them operating at standard effi ciency ... and how they are replaced when they are worn out or made obsolete by faster, better machines. The savings of stockholders (owners) are invested in the tools that make pos sible the jobs that we have. Another important way tools are paid for is through reinvestment of profits made by the business. How important are tools and equipment? As in the past, future increases in our standard of living — the prosperity and well-being of ourselves and our families— depend on the development and maintenance of the very best tools and equipment for production. So let’s respect the tools and equipment we use. This means getting the maxi mum production from them and taking the proper care to make them last and do the job they were designed to do. And, equally important, let s recognize the vital role which investments and profits take in paying for industry’s tools and equipment. 19 Blanket Weavers Make Quality Honor List without his or her cloth having a major quality defect.
