When a person goes to work
for a company he is sure to
have certain goals. So, too
does the company. All of us
have heard talk about these
sets of goals ? so let's see
what they are and what can
bring achievement of them.
As for a company, its basic
aim, generally speaking, is to
stay in business indefinitely.
To do this, its major goal must

profit must be continuous and
be enough to permit the firm
to expand, grow larger.
A quality product for which
there is a continuing demand,
must be sold at a competitive
price. To grow, the company
must constantly add and satisfy
new customers. As you
can see, it takes a lot of doing
for a company to succeed
by achieving its major goals
? profit and growth.

are bound to include a desire
for greater income, personal
recognition for a job well
done and growth in the job.
Growth in the job depends
upon your own capacity and
talent. But it depends, also,
on two other important
things: (1) whether you pick
an employer who is making
an adequate profit: (2)
whether you do your level
best to help him to continue
to make that Drofit.
When a business earns an
adequate profit it can install
new equipmen t, expand
facilities, undertake research.
It can increase wages, add
personnel and. most importantly,
give promotions.
You've heard the expression
that "a company is
known bv the people it keeps."
Certainly this is a truth because
it IS people who make
the company. It is their
planning and their daily efforts
that determine whether
the company will make a
profit and grow.

helpful to the company when
each day's work is accomplished
with thoroughness, a
pride in quality as well as
quantity, and courtesy to
every customer or contact.
With company growth
comes promotions, and each
one leaves a vacancy to fill.
What employees will fill
them, what things are con
sidered? In football the coach
wants to play the man who
not only has ability, but also
has such a desire to win that
he will use every bit of ability
he has all the time he's in the
game.
That's the type of person,
too. that a company prefers
for filling a vacancy. What
better way could it assure
achievement of its basic goal
? to make profit? S el fish
reasoning? Surely, but it also
helps an employee to realize
his personal goals. Likely as

job." He has proved that he is
interested in tackling the challenges
of a new job. and has
an eagerness to take on greater
responsibilities. Because
his past performance has
helped the company to earn
profit, it is a good calculated
risk for the company to assume
that in a job with wider
responsibilities, at more pay.
no win help it even more.
Hopefully, a company wants
to fill every vacancy with an
employee from its ranks who
will stack the odds of success
in its favor.
When employees help the
company to reach its goals,
they are likely to find that,
in doing so, they also have
been helping themselves to
achieve what THEYwant.
That's the way it works in
America! It's system of "free
enterprise" applies to every
c o m p a n y, and also to the
ambitious individual. So,
when we talk about achieving
"company" goals and "employee"
goals ? aren't we

Six Mistakes
More than 2,000 years ago
Uicero listed the six mistakes
of man which still hold true
today, towit:
1. The delusion that individual
advancement is made
by crushing others.
2. The tendency to worry
about things that cannot be
changed or corrected.
3. Insisting that a thing is
impossible because we cannot
accomplish it.
4 Refusing to set aside trivial
preferences.
5 Neglecting development
and refinement of

6. Attempting to compel
other persons to believe
and live as we do.

Lost Linos
Clothmaker readers are occasionally
irritated by having
a story end abruptly ? the
last line or two simply
missing. We asked our printer
