THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF clean-cut appearance, radiant personality, wholesome character, and pleasing voice. QleawQut Appearance By a clean-cut appearance we have in mind an applicant of normal size and physique and pleasing features. This is very important because of the fact that the first impression received by our patrons is that which is received through the sense of sight. Appearance goes beyond the subject of dress. Many of our employees are required to wear uniforms. In these they may present a very much different appearance than that which they have in clothes of their own choosing. (Radiant Personality Personality is that quality or those qualities which distinguish one individual from another and is the projecting of those distinguishing qualities in each individual contact with our patrons. This quality is rarely found, but it is one which can be developed through constant effort. It is your duty to correct continuously and call to the attention of each of your employees any acts or expressions which do not measure up to this idea of radiant personality. An organisation properly schooled and trained in demonstrating their personality will never become stereotyped, or give the impression that each of your employees is an automaton. ^Wholesome Qharacter By wholesome character we mean a straight-forward, honest, sincerity of purpose, and an earnestness of desire to perform each duty with credit. This is necessary in order to build loyalty which is one of the greatest constructive forces in any organisation, without which little is accomplished and many mistakes are made.
