David Fowler, Jimmy Samples, and Mike Woodward are shown reviewing a copy of "This Is Clinton Mills" with their math teacher, Mr. Mackie Heustess, following a presentation about the textile industry by the Clinton Mills Public Relations Department. Mixed Sign seen in Research Department: "No problem is too small to baffle our staff of experts." The farmer was scolding his hired hand for carrying a lighted lantern to call on his girlfriend.

There are two ways a company can increase the amount of profit it makes on the goods it sells. One is to raise prices; the other is to cut costs. Well, you might say, why doesn't Clinton Mills just raise its prices a little bit, make more profit, and put more into the Profit Sharing Fund. Sounds simple doesn't it? But hold on a minute! Clinton Mills products are the best in the world, but other textile companies make good products, too. Clinton has not only to meet its competitors' standards of quality, it also has to be able to sell at comparable prices. ii our company iook ine easy way of raising prices, it would soon lose business and might even have to stop operating. On the other hand, it can accomplish the purpose (of increasing profits) by the second method I mentioned - cutting costs. But this can't be done by just having the boss say, "Cut costs."
