paint over his windows. He knows that when
you attempt secrecy, people will get the
wrong impression. Of course, he keeps his
machines clean and uses no improvised lao
bels but neatly printed ones. His service
calls are all handled within an hour after
they are phoned in because he realizes that
out·of·order machines lead to robbery and
vandalism and incur ill will of both cus·
tomer and location owner.
"Bill accompanies his service men to loca·
tions from time to tim e and by so doing
Ratters th e owner, who is happy to receive a
visit from the 'big boss.' If h e runs into a
tou gh location, he drops in for a drink or a
meal and tries to win over the proprietor.
"He knows that his business is judged by
his personnel; that's why service men are
always polite and pleasant and their garb
is immaculate.
"He keeps a careful check on service
men's receipts-gets rid of dishonest em·
ployees promptly.
"When a location wants to have a rna·
,chine removed, Bill can re·sell him on serv-
ice; Jack can only plead for another
chance.
"The luxurious war days are over," Greene
concluded, "Those days made us compla-
cen t ; we took a lot for granted. Now is th e
time to take stock and readjust our way of
rloing business."
