25th Anniversary
Twila L Woodring
ft could not have been other than a briskly cold day in De.s Moines. Iowa back on January 11, 1944 . . . but what ever the weather, it most certainly was a very significant day for the SherwinWilliams Company, for it was on this day that TWILA L. WOODRING be gan her career with our good Company.
Twila was employed as Assistant Cashier and her advancement came quickly . . . February 16 she became Cashier and on September I of the same year she took over as Credit Man ager, replacing the man who is now our Treasurer--J. F. Cole. On May 1, 1966

0007-SWP-000107442
she was classified as Centralized Office & Credit Manager. From the opening of both the Des Moines-West and Des Moines-East Branches, she has handled the C&A work for all three Branches. Her superb qualifications brought her rapid advancement and her record these past twenty-five years has placed her at the top of the ladder as Credit Manager.
There are few Credit Managers who can claim an equal to the success Twila has earned, and her influence has been felt in many other Branches through out the Region. She has also been ac tive in the Des Moines Credit Women's Association, having served as President. While she is not given to boasting . . . we think a record of consistent excel lent audit ratings since 1947, which is
Kenny Bean. Manager, Des MoinesWest, making presentation, seems to have taken time to "`present" an
extra love-gift.

ODE TO THE ID Some folks work only Cor financial gain
blit who are they trying to "kid" Tiy making it a dual purpose
and satisfy the Id. If one's prime objective
is only to please the "Boss" One sacrifices part of his self
'cause the id takes the loss. So, get with it and do your "Thing"
it's time to pur in your bid For the satisfaction that always conies
when you do it lor the Jcl.
