"Encourage your employees to study 

 and thoroughly master the details of 

 their worli. It will malie them more 

 valuable employees as well as better 

 men." This has been the advice o£

 advice. Present your employee with

 William Scott. It is not only a hand- 

 some volume that makes an attractive 

 gift, but it contains the sort of mat- 

 ter that will make your employees 

 better workmen. You will benefit 

 yourself as well as showing your em- 

 ployee that you regard him as some- 

 thing more than a mere machine.
