“JIM” WALTER IS BACK HOME Returns From * Advance - Rumely Dealers’ School in Laimrte. Mr. Jas. E. Walter has just returned from the Advanee-Rumely Thresher company’s dealer school at Laporte. He states that he spent a most profitable and pleasamt two weeks as the guest of the Oil Pull company. We will let him tell his own story: On arriving at Laporte we registered and were assigned to rooms with private families in town giving a little touch of home life which only a stranger in a strange land knows how to appreciate. The school was run much like a large university with regular lee-, tures and laboratory classes running from 8 in the morning until 5 at night. Lectures were given by some of the best engineers in the automotive industry. After the lectures we would put on our “overalls” and go into the laboratory and work on the machines. There was an enthusiastic group of men working on motors, transmissions, running tractors, etc. We had, altogether, some 250 dealers from all over the United States and Canada. One man, a Mr. Rosenius, came all the way from Stockholm, Sweden, to attend the school. He represents a company in Stockholm Which handles the Rumely line In Scandinavia, Russia and Poland, We made a trip through the entire (plant, spending a half day in the Oil Pull and the same amount of time in the separator factory. Believe me, it is a whale of a plant. The factory alone covers 85 acres and "employs over 2,000 men. Everything is well organized ana things sure do run through in a systematic, thorough way. The spirit within the AdvaneeRumely organization is another thing that impressed us. There Is a strong sense of loyalty prevailing throughout the whole works Which makes the organization seem like one big family. Another instance of this spirit is shown in the Advance-Ruimiely club Whtich is made up of the Ruimely workers. They have a two-story brick building Which they turned over to the dealers. We spent many pleasant hours in the writing room, reading room and billiard rooms, whidh were so kindly put at our disposal. v This cluib room was fitted up with a regular stage and everything. We had some great entertainments brought down from Chicago. One night we had 'the Imperial Quartette which makes records for the Victor company. Another night we had a boxing entertainment. A regular vaudeville show from the best circuits in Chicago made a big hit. The climax of the entertainment was the banquet given at the Masonic hall by the Rumely company as sort of a farewell party. Mr. Walter is more enthusiastic than ever about the company and its product and states that he is now in a position to give a personal service to his customers that can’t be beat. —Advt.
