IjoM, Secu/ult|i | The above pictures are part of a new poster series which will be displayed at the Caromount and Wilson Divisions throughout the year. These posters will cover a variety of subjects. The two illustrated above deal with competition and illustrate the importance of quality products. [Photos courtesy of Judson-Roberts Company.) A statement from management in the words of President Malcolm G. Jones is a part of the poster program. Mr. Jones’ statement con cerning competition is reprinted below. Somebody ELSE makes it, too. No Company has a market all to itself. The kind of products and services WE turn out are offered by OTHER companies, too. And the CUSTOMER has his CHOICE. If he likes OUR quality better, he buys from US. Otherwise, he buys somewhere ELSE. Whatever it is — product or service — people want the best for their money.
