We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.

Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

AW NISTER...HAVE A HEART! For years we have prided ourselves on the quick, careful and courteous manner in which we handled our customers. Today we are on the spot as never before, trying to maintain the reputation for service we were so many years building up. As you read these lines, exactly 504 of our highly-trained personnel are giving their services to Uncle Sam. 504 out of 1 600 employees, or practically one out of every three employees are away on military duty. That's a big chunk to take out of a service organization like ours, and for us to still keep going as well as we do. Many of these boys are right out of your own territory too, and when they went— God bless them— they left a hole that seems almost impossible to fill. So we are trying hard to carry on until they come back to us. And when things go wrong, please have a little understanding, a little tolerance— Please Mister, have a heart! In the meantime, kindly get those playdates in to us, as far ahead as possible. That will help us a lot. And when some new boy or girl here, happens to pull a boner, or something else happens to aggravate you— Please have a heart. And thank you. WHO CAN REFUSE TO HELP CHILDREN?
