You Make
Many
Important Decisions
Decision making can be
found at the core of every successful
job operation ?
whether it be on a manage
ment level or on the production
line.
There are some who say
that the only people in the
company who make the important
decisions are the top
executives.
Those who feel this way
are pretty easy to recognize.
For "What's the use?" is the
philosophy of the chap who
throws up the sponge when
the battle has just started. He
sits down alongside the road
when he finds that the signpost
deceived him. Instead of
lengthening his stride he is
satisfied with "good enough."
He has no goals, no visions He
accepts no challenges.
"What's the use?" and "Why
should I?" are the two most
fatal phrases in the English
language. They mark the
dividing line between success
and failure for thousands of
human beings.
Undoubtedly, management
does have the responsibility
for making many important
decisions. But there are a
good many decisions vital to
successful operations which
management does not make.
For example, the decision
to avoid the costly waste of
materials or time is one that
must be made by the employee.
Keeping quality high by
putting one's best skills and
care into the product represents
a decision by the employee.
Then there is the decision
to try to find wavs to improve
operations, to offer suggestions.
For another, the decision
to work safely.
All important decisions ?
and only you, not the top
executives, can make them.
Free Enterprise
Savings Make
Your Job
If industry created a new
job for you today, how much
do you think it would cost to
set you up for that first day
of work? At least SI8.000 new
capital investment--a staggering
$18 billion per year in the
United States. And at least
another $20 billion a year will
be needed to maintain the
plants and machinery of 67
minion present lobs.
The money ? where is it
coming from? The same
sources of capital that have
provided it in the past -savings
in the form of retained
earnings of corporations (the
corporate profits put aside for
expansion), and the personal
savings of the American people
? your savings.
Since a large proportion of
the capital needed must come
from the invested savings of
individuals, it is only through
this voluntary cooperation between
investors and industry
that we can survive and prosper.

Working together, the mill
and the selling house built a
prosperous business. Their cotton
covers for wagons shielded
many of the pioneers who
settled and developed the
West.
As time passed, the manufacturers
and salesmen drew
closer, finally becoming parts
of a single organization. Their
roles remained essentially the
same, however: One group
sought orders and the other
group produced the goods to
fill them.
A couple of years ago. the
salesmen were asked to provide
material for a project far
removed from the covered
wagon tops of pioneer days.
They were asked to develop a
scientifically engineered fabric
to house the delicate equipment
of the Telstar satellite.
The fabric was developed
and manufactured, shipped to
Maine and erected there as a
giant radome, protecting the
sending and receiving devices
for this country's first major
communications satellite. The
fabric is still in use.
One company's ability to
progress from canvas wagon
covers to modern radome fabrics
is just an example of the
textile industry's amazing
growth within the larger
framework of the growth of
the United States. It is part of
a great untold story of an industry's
endless effort to provide
what the times demand,
and, in many cases, to be
ahead of the times. .

Since 1952, the textile industry
has spent about four billion
dollars to insure that we

is possible to put an American
on the moon, he won't arrive
naked, cold and homeless.
In fact, textile research has
already provided that when a
man lands on the moon, textiles
will be there. This is not
only true in the sense of his
protective clothing, but also
in the sense that textiles will
be in the space craft he rides.
If he is required to erect any
type of shelter on the moon,
it will probably be of a collapsible
type of fabric engineered
for special protection
against harmful rays and
temperature extremes.
Moreover, any man on his
way to the moon, or on his
way back home, could stop
over at a floating space platform
that will have been shot
into space and inflated on arrival.
To speak of the moon is to
cover a tremendous distance

has covered the distance
