DU POIMTERS RESPOND TO COMMUNITY NEEDS
Brevard plant and construction
employees displayed a high level of
community responsibility and compas
sion for less fortunate neighbors in
giving and pledging a record $21,470
to meet the needs of United Fund
agencies.
Bill Buell and Bat Masterson,
plant drive co-chairmen, express their
gratitude to everyone who took part
in this years’ campaign. The total sur
passed last years’ previous high by
over $2800.
Both Bill and Bat feel the main
credit goes to individual contributors
for their thoughtful generosity and to
solicitors who did an outstanding job
of explaining the functions of the many
United Fund agencies.

Sales Manager
Tells It Like It Is
Bruce Sutherland, Southeast
District Sales Manager, came to Bre
vard on October 22nd to "tell it like it
is’’ in the x-ray film market. He also re
flected how marketing feels about our
efforts to help his group satisfy the
needs of our customers.
Bruce Sutherland—Southeast
District Sales Manager.
He said the Brevard Plant, to a
man, is making an outstanding con
tribution to customer good will. This
results not only from successful cus
tomer plant tours but also because
his technical representatives are con
stantly kept informed of what’s going
on through rapid response to any cus
tomer and marketing inquiries or pro
blems. The spirit of cooperation is ex
cellent.
To get an accurate picture, he
even took a plant tour to get a feel
for how a customer is routinely treated
on a plant visit. He was quite pleased
with our program.
In talking with Brevard people
while on tour, he found what he called
a “refreshing attitude” among plant
employees. Nearly everyone had a ser
ious concern for our competitive status
in the market place. This desire to ex
cell was pleasing.
In response to this concern, he
stated our position was favorable and
experiencing steady growth.
