Fred Base, manager of the Chicago office of
the Gretsch concern.
Speaking to The Review in Chicago, Mr.
Gretsch said: "I can only speak in the highest
terms of the way the western manufacturers
have received me, with their open-handed cor-
diality and their willingness to show me through
the various plants. My impression of the
manufacturers in this section of the country is
that they are modern to the highest degree and
leave nothing undone that makes for factory
efficiency. Another thing that impressed me
was the cleanliness of the factories, and the
wealth of daylight which the factories seek to
achieve in order to bring about pleasant work-
ing conditions which seems to make for in-
creased and efficient production."
Mr. Gretsch will visit several other cities in
the Middle West before returning to New
York next week.
