WHO IS T1
Ask a thousand persons the question
"Who's the boss?" and you'll be lucky
to get the right answer.
There is only one boss, reminds a
piece in an industrial publication
passed along to the Clothmaker. Reprinted
here, it goes on to say:
Whether a person shines shoes for
a living or heads up the largest corporation
in the world, the boss remains
the same. It's the customer. The boss
pays everyone's salary and decides
whether a business is going to succeed
or fail.
The customer doesn't care if a business
has been around a hundred years.
The minute it starts treating him badly,
he'll put it out of business.
The man who works deep inside a
I big plant on a production line might
think he's working for the company
that writes his paycheck. But he's not.
He's working for the person who
buys his product at the end of the
line And if that nerson doesn't like
the product, he won't buy it. Eventually,
if this continues, he fires the
man on the production line. In fact,

he'll fire everyone in the company,
including the president.
And he can do it by simply spending
his money someplace else. This is one
of the reasons why taking pride in
the work we do is so important to us.
Some companies that had flourishing
businesses a few years ago are no
longer in existence.

What9s Your
Worth?
Think about this for a moment: You
have a plain iron or steel bar worth
about $5 to start with.
Made into horseshoes, it is worth
$10.50.
Made into screwdrivers or kitchen
cutlery, it may be worth $250.
Made into needles, it is worth $3,250.
Made into balance springs for
watches, it is worth $250,000.
The same thing is true for another
kind of material?you.
Your value is determined by what
you make of yourself.

SEE WHERE
YOU ARE GOING
IHHlf
It makes no difference whether
you work in the plant or the
office, you should be able to
recognize hazards. Most people
have their eyes open and
see where they are going.
Accidents occur when people
merely look at the scene and
fail to see and recognize dan1/

especially when you are moving.
Be aware of people activity
and changing conditions
and take early defensive action
to protect yourself from
danger.
