PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE—
(Continued from Page One)
looking ahead, saving while the
saving is good.
The grasshopper, you remem-
Ler, became cold and hungry
when winter arrived. In these
desperate circumstances she ap
proached a colony of ants, beg
ging food and promising rich
payment later. She confessed that
her summer had been spent with
no thought of the winter to come.
All she had done, she said, was
to spend the time singing. Then
it is yoifr time to dance, replied
the ants. And the fable concludes
that then the grasshopper knew
it is best to prepare for the day
of necessity."
There are many methods of
saving. But underlying them all
is the principle that "it is best
to prepare for the day of neces
sity."
Nature gives virtually all wild
creatures the instinct to save, to
store up food when food is plen
tiful as provision for the season
when supplies are scarce or not
available at all. Man is the crea-
utre most willing to take chances.
And many are the sad examples
of too much chance-taking, and
failing to create a reserve of sav
ings for some lean time in the
future.
Economic conditions and per
sonal incomes just now are en
couraging. But one of their most
important benefits should be to
encourage us to put the Principle
of Saving into practice.
Sincerely yours.

Life is like a game of tennis.
The player who serves well sel

better it is.
New Artist Comes With Company
John C. Anderson of Atlanta,
Ga., will associate with Anvil
Brand as layout and creative art
ist, Jack Thrift of the advertising
department has announced. He
will assume his position in the
newly-created post here April 2.
Anderson has had an interest
ing and varied career in various
phases of art and Jack said the
portfolio he submitted of his pa:t
work was quite impressive.
Born in Wonsan, Korea, Ander
son is the son of Methodist mis
sionary parents. He began draw
ing as a small child and later
took art lessons from an English
woman in Seoul. Later he studied
under a Korean artist and learned
the oriental technique of paint
ing on silk.
His family returned to the
United States when he was 13
and he continued his study of art
at High Museum in Atlanta and
the Chicago Art Institute.
In 1944 he went with his par
ents to LaPaz, Bolivia, where he
finished High School by corrc-
spondence. After a year with the
Army in Japan, he completed his
sophomore year at Emory Uni
versity and was accepted at Pratt
Institute in Brooklyn, N. Y.,
where he graduated with a cer
tificate in illustration.
His career has included creat
ing and painting designs for men’s
sport clothes for McGregor, an
outstanding men’s-wear organiza
tion.
He also has done portrait work
and since the Fall of 1955 has
been part-time instructor in draw
ing at Georgia State College. He
also did some of the model lay
outs and finished art for a pub
lic information exhibit now in
the Commerce Building in Wash
ington, D. C.
Jack said Anderson’s work
with Anvil Brand will include
creating ideas in various phases
of advertising such as counter
cards for retail stores, posters
NEW ARTISr — John Anderson, right above, is to come
to Anvil Brand early next month as layout and creative
artist. Anderson already has done art work fo rthe com
pany and an example of his work can be seen in the ad at
right which was carried in a leading national magazine.
Anna’s
Philosophy
The following bit of philosophy
is from the desk of Anna Mc
Kinney in Personnel Depart
ment:
“A smile costs nothing but gives
much. It enriches those who re
ceive it without making poorer
those who give it. It takes but a
moment, but the memory of it
sometimes lasts forever. No one
is so rich or mighty that he can
get along without it, and no one
so poor that he cannot be made
rich by it.
‘A smile creates happiness in
the home, fosters good will in
business and is the countersign
of friendship. Yet it cannot be
bought, begged or stolen, for it is
something of no value to anyone
until it is given away. If some
one is too tired to give you a
smile then give them one of
yours, for no one needs a smile
so much as he who has none to
give.”
’Twixt optimist and pessimist
The difference is droll
The optimist sees the doughnut.
The pessimist, the hole.
—McLandburgh Wilson
