BRIGHT
OUTLOOK
\
Probably the outstanding phenomenon of 1953, so far
as the businesses in the Valley are concerned was the
strong evidence that the seller’s market of so many years
duration was at last playing out. There was weeping and
wailing on the part of people in all branches of business
to whom this reversal seemed an uncommonly cruel twist
of fate
We will try especially hard to do all that can be done in the
fields of economy and Quality Control to prepare our
business for the tougher world which looms ahead. For
make no mistake about it, the years just ahead are going
to be measurably tougher than the period thru which we
have been coasting so easily.
Many in business have never known the work that must
go into (or the satisfaction which can result from) tough
competitive selling. The years ahead should be a revelation
to them. The easy-buck, hand-out world we’re leaving
behind has in some measure cheated all of us. We can
no longer act as if customers were afflicted with the
plague. It’s time to shift our sights.
We will endeavor rigorously to offer more service and
satisfaction than ever before.
In line with the above we have “put our money where our
mouth is”.
We have purchased a brand-new, completely modern
Fleming FM-180 Concrete Block Machine. This is a fully
automatic, Hydraulically-operated, pressure head and
vibrator combination that represents the very latest ad
vances in the concrete industry. With this machine we
are able to offer our customers the BEST block at the
same price as always.
