WHAT IS
A CUSTOMER?
Those of us who never meet
or come in contact with the
customer who buys our goods
probably might wonder some
time just what kind of a
creature he is. We are called
upon to do our best so as to
please the customer, so that
we will get business that will
repeat.
What is a Customer? Possibly
there would be good
definitions from different segments
of the business world,
as the attitude of many would
be different. One of the best
and a reassurance for customers
was recently passed on
to us by Mr. A. C. Young.
Standards Manager of our
mills. Here is what good
ousiness really thinks about
the matter:
"A CUSTOMER is the most
important person in business.
"A CUSTOMER is not dependent
upon us?we are dependent
on him.
"A CUSTOMER is not an
interruption of our work?he
is the purpose of it.
"A CUSTOMER does us a
favor when he calls ? we are
doing him a favor by serving
him.
"A CUSTOMER is part of
our business?not an outsiuex.
"A CUSTOMER is not a
cold statistic?he is flesh and
blood, a human being with
feelings and emotions like our
own.
"A CUSTOMER is not
someone to argue and match
wits with.

who brings us his wants?it

"A CUSTOMER is deserving
of the most courteous and
attentive treatment we can
give him.
"A CUSTOMER is the fellow
who makes it possible to
pay our salary whether we
are a plant or office employee.
salesman or superintendent.
"A CUSTOMER is the lifeblood
of the textile business
and every other business."

truth about U. S. production:
Between 1900 and 1957, we

doubled the amount of goods
and services produced each
year for every man, woman

How can a nation double its

ways. First, it can increase

labor force was about the

1957. J
A second way to up produc- %
tion might have been to increase
the number of hours
that people work. Of course,
we know that just the reverse
happened in this country.
The third vvav to increase

production is to enable the
nation's workers to produce
more, even though they work
less. This is the course that
has been taken bv the United
States.
The key to Johnnie's arithmetic
is a rapidly expanding
technology. This combination
of new machines, new methods
and new processes multiplies
each man's effort. His
work is easier, but he produces
more. Industrial progress
is the backbone of our
high living standards.
