From the Secretary's Desk

Maintaining an Effective Operating Staff

Recently I noted in the house organ of a division operating three sizable companies, the photographs and titles of the 36 key men in these companies. They were arranged in the form of an organization chart. Certainly, here is one organization that is giving consistent study and planning to maintaining an effective operative staff.

We find such key positions as follows: Vice President; General Manager of Marketing; Marketing Research Director; Sales Promotion and Advertising Director; General Manager Sales; General Manager of Operations; General Plant Manager; Chief Engineer; Industrial Engineer; Planning Director; Economist; Purchasing Director; Transportation Director; Milk Supply Manager; Quality Control Director; Public Relations Director; Personnel Director; Comptroller; Secretary-Treasurer. Because of the number of operations involved, some of these positions appear more than once.

I was impresed by the over-all youth of the organization, judging by the pictures. It would be interesting to have beside each picture the years of service with the company and the number of years to go prior to retirement at 65.
