SELLING ACCURATE WEIGHT
(Continued from page 6)
never think of dropping a dime
thermometer on the floor or placing
it on the wall at an angle, or where
the wind can blow it from side to
side; he will transport a scale neg-
ligently, drop it cal'elessly from his
car or truck, and place it in a slip-
shod manner at a grotesque angle,
111'l~ecul'ed and u .. oalanced.
While this practice is not common
to many operators of scales, it is well
to remember that a sore finger
stands out and makes a whole hand
useless.
It is these sore fingers
which are bringing down more states
to rigid inspections and regulations
of personal weighers. The states are
demanding that a service be ren-
del'ed to the public in return for the
public's money. It is up to evel'y
operator to see that his machines
are delivering a value in service and
not to be forced by his state into
giving this service .
Be honest with the public. Treat
your scales as you yourselves would
want to receive a selvice f rom them.
Ask yourself, "Should I get weighed
on this (your) scale? Is it clean
and neat? Does it look as if it is
tested regularly? Is it level? Does
it imbue confidence enough in me to
make me part with my penny?"
When you can honestly answer these
questions, step on your scale and
drop a coin in the slot-your are a
100 per cent scale operator.
