Incidentally, this man Smith is u philosopher. Here are a fen conclusions he has drawn from life: "The best producer I have does his work the easiest." "What keeps me on the Jump all the time Is getting my work to the men " "If there Is any hold-up in my work I consider it my own fault." "The work my men are doing todaj 1 did long ago."
