The Perfection Piano Bench Mfg. Co., 1518 Blue
Island avenue, Chicago, believes that factory clean-
liness should be practiced and that it reflects on the
spirit of the employes and ultimately on the product
manufactured.
Frank S. Smith, president of the company, has
been very active in keeping the work rooms of the
factory in ship shape and all employes are instructed
to keep their work benches tidy and assist in arrang-
ing material in orderly fashion.
Walnut and mahogany are kept in separate places
and also their respective stains. Waste lumber is
not allowed to collect on the floors, but is quickly
disposed of. The finished products are neatly stored
in a large room adjoining the work rooms.
The policy of neatness has added to the efficiency
of the Perfection Company in a general way, as every
item used in the manufacture of its products is kept
in a certain place and no time is lost in looking up
these articles. The adequate floor space is cleared
at all times and the ventilation and light is not ob-
structed, but is in all corners of the factory.
