"We nre really just riolne the pioneer

who started the settlement idea In
France about fifteen jeari ngn. " nd
our problems are very different from
yourn. We don't har the children

"We do all our work with ! rench
people nml don't have the foreigners
that you have here, but the people aic
till suspicious. There is u great deal
of support Riven to chnritj but m little
for social work. They say '-oeinl work?
Ton mean socialism' and the work has
had to ro very slowly.
"One of our dllBculties is that the
French are such indlvidunli-ts. We have
to Ret the people out. to Ret them to
work toRether mid pliu tuRether. We
need recreation teachers for the chil
dren nnd nlavirrouuds.
"Hut while we haven't enough
jnnlzatlon, I think America has
much. There is too much that is
tractive outside the home "
Mile, ltassot is particularlj intero-ted
in the visitlnR nurse Idea and Is quite
anxious for an exchange of -nclal u oili
er between America and Krnme. In
France, the settlement 1- a school for
social service ns well a- u community
Center and the spirit of neighborhood
acquaintance is the same in the two
countries.

and Too Little of That"
TNVENTORIES of parts are shocking because
-1- you usually discover how much money you
have tied up. And with too many of some parts
unnecessarily on hand, there are too few of
others. The result is delayed production which
is costly.
How easily it is to control your Stock with
the proper facilities! Rand Visible Card-Rec-jrds,
for instance, are always ready to give
instant information. The Stock Clerk runs
down a visible list of products' names and there,
with the lifting of a panel card-pocket, the com
plete record of parts-on-hand, with the proper
maximum and minimum limits for that part, is
before his eyes. A simple visible signal system
guards against overstocking and material short
age. Rand Equipment is seven times faster than
groping through blind, closed-files for data. And
there is no chance of misplacing vital cards.
Not only in Stock Records, but in Sales
Promotion, in Production Control, in
Labor Control and in Sales and Cost
Records, are Rand Visible Card-Records
invaluable. They will help you build up
efficiency while decreasing overhead.
