It's all in the point of view. "Sacred Cows" are no rarity anywhere. W e all have our hab its and cecuiiarities-- things we do for no other reason than be cause we nave always done them. Business, too, has its sacred cows, its traditions. Every Fac tory, no matter how efficient, has some oeculiar habits or meth ods of doing certain things for which there is no excuse except that "we have always done it that way." The chances are good that you are not even aware of the sacred cows in your plant. Like the boss's habit of clearing his throat-- you don't notice it be cause you nave grown accus tomed to it. It is a case of familiarity, not in this case breeding contempt, but dulling H e edge of percection. W e need an outside source of ideas to help clear up this astig matism-- to disturb the compla cence with which we view fa miliar errors. 8rick & C la y Rec ord performs this function for its readers. Sooner or later you will read in these Dages some thing that will open your eyes and enable you to recognize j sacred cows you have been har- 1 boring in your plant. P. L. S.
