head organization was energetically expanding.
The topics for discussion were items such as these : "The 1 0 Demandments of Business Success," "The Appreciation of Time," "Point of Contact," "Procrastination," "Supervision," "Spoilage of Material," "Spoilage of Time," "Are You Serious Minded?," "Rules," "Hurrying Up the Christmas Line," "What Is Meant by Think' ing?." "J. C." himself spoke for as long as 45 minutes on many of these topics, plus hundreds of talks along similar lines — to the department head conferences and to the employees. He seeks always to implant in his coworkers ideas and ambitions which will make them more efficient and more productive; hence worth more to the company — and to themselves and their families.

No one in the Hall Brothers organization makes more suggestions to insure a variety of seasonable menu items than Joyce Hall himself. And everybody in the organization gets the same service. The boss stands in line with the others for his food. When new employees report for work, they are given a free meal on their first day, to introduce them to the cafeteria.
