Staying On Top
Of all the honors a company can win-
the customer’s decision to choose that
company’s products over all the others
is the most valued of all.
Fieldcrest likes its customers—every
company does. But when our customers
say they like us by choosing our prod
ucts, again and again, we are well
our way to success and prosperity.
We know how to meet competition.
But it is getting harder and harder to
win nowadays.
Good products, good service and fau
treatment of customers are not enough!
our competitors are already doing tha^
To continue to be a winner in this
expanding battle of competition,
have to make the best products, give the
best service and go all out to convinc®
the customer that we are doing the bes
job of all to please him.
We have to be twice as good to stay
on top.
It is more than an honor when custf^
mers tell us how much we have pleased
them.
This kind of appreciation pays off ^
future orders, steady work, steady pay'
checks, and pride in our jobs.
Wouldn’t you say that these are worth
that extra bit of attention to our jobs
which keeps our company in the wi^'
ner’s circle?
