Cut Down
Your'Labor Turnover!
(A Message for Chief Executives)
Think what effective labor-control means to you?
it means guarding against labor emergencies by know
ing what each worker can do besides his regular job.
it means cutting down the percentage of labor turnover.
it means increase in production without an increase in
overhead, through the assignment of the right man to the
right job.
With the RAND method of Visib'c Card-Records effective labor
control is merely a matter of data collection and a little study.
Compact, simple, instantly accessible, the RAND equipment
makes your management more efficient by placing in your hands
the power to adjust your personnel to fit your needs. In hun
dreds of businesses from the Government down to the small
office it lias made a most conspicuous success not only in solv
ing the problem of labor control but also in Sales Promotion,
Credit, Stock, Sales, Cost Records and Production Work.
Ask oar focal office to confer with yon to-iay atont yonr particular problem.

ard Trucks For AllWinter
Transportation
No More Guess and Gamble in Trucking Costs
Packard Figures Based Upon Severest Service
lT does it mean when thirty cities
report demands for more housing con
struction and increased industrial
building? What does it mean when members of
the National Association of Builder's Exchanges
promise to "attempt to carry on building all winter
regardless of weather conditions"?
It means that if demands and plans are carried
out, motor trucks must do their bit.
And motor truck users must know how big a
bit they can do when cold is extreme and going
is hard.
8J 1?
Winter building has always been more or less
a gamble with the contractor. A man cannot
work a system when the weather deals the cards.
In winters gone by, transportation has fallen
down first. Materials were delivered behind
schedule or not at all expensive workmen were
forced to slow down costs were increased ac
cordingly. Replacement of horses by motor trucks helped
to an extent. But reliable figures on winter motor
truck performance have been hard to obtain.
Consistent figures have been even harder.
Now the gamble is being taken out of winter
hauling by Packard transportation figures.
Records of Packard trucks during last winter
and the winter before are available.
Many of these trucks did not lose a trip or a
minute's time during the winter.
Gasoline and oil consumption and repairs run
at the same low average that Packard owners
expect to find
Average loads were hauled, even where they
consisted of cement or gravel or other materials
whose weight and bulk increased where wet or
frozen.
Trailers and special dumping and loading equip
ment were kept in use according to schedule.
Packard transportation figures and Packard
trucks necessarily go together.
For it is the extra margin of strength and stam
ina that enables the Packard to meet the emer
gency when it comes.
And it is that same margin that extra factor
of safety which has kept Packard trucks in con
tinuous service, some of them over ten years. We
have yet to hear of a Packard truck going out
of active service.
"8
Building contractors and others will find valu
able help in solving truck transportation problems
by calling upon the Freight Transportation De
partment of the Packard organization in this city.
Its services are without charge.
