PERSONAL contact is essential to the growth of complete understanding. When business operations and business organizations were small, the employer could know his employees personally and the merchant could know his customers. All had the advantage that comes from the intimacy of close, personal acquaintanceship. Misunderstandings were easily adjusted. Every man knew every other man as a citizen and as a friend and there was no suspicion 1 of motives. Today, when big enterprise is the order of business; when large accumulations of capital are essential to the accomplishment of undertakings of real value to the public, the several groups are denied the advantage of this personal contact Recognizing this handicap, the management of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has established a system of direct personal contact with the great body of employees and through them, with the public. The management maintains close, personal relations with the employees through the Department of Industrial Relations, where the employer and employee get together on common ground to discuss and' settle, in friendly conference, questions of mutual interest To promote still closer relationship, the Board of Directors, as a body, make frequent visits to refineries and to the field, where they meet and confer with the great body of employees. The value of this personal contact is reflected in the harmonious relations which exist between the Company and the earnest, loyal, hardworking employees, who thriftily invest their savings in the Company’s business and who have added interest in seeing that the Company’s customers get efficient service.
