(Q) Please advise me whether I would be most successful by
becoming a partner with I. S. Gaines, President of the
Saginaw Furniture Shops - and who owns factories in Michigan,
or with the owners of the Carolina Wood Products Co., or with
the present associates - who are the receivers of Chicago
Title & Trust Co.
(A) As we find, there have been associations in a mental
manner with Gaines, yet there have been the needs for those
carrying-ons or developments for both, and in the present
these would make for the better association in carrying on
that part of the work that is of the nature of the woods, or
the metal and woods products, that the body would be
associated with.
(Q) Would Gaines be able to finance the operations of
Carolina Wood Product Corp., for and with me, and be able to
take over company from present owners?
(A) That as the attitude that has been assumed by self too
often, that the other fellow to do in the actuality and self
only in work, labor, or the like. With the combined EFFORTS,
in a COOPERATIVE manner, this might be accomplished - but the
associations would be well. GOOD for all.
(Q) Why did Gaines want me associated with him?
(A) The mutual associations would be well.
(Q) Why did the Forces advise me not to join Gaines in 1927?
(A) It wasn't the right time!
(Q) Will I be able to work harmoniously with Gaines in every
way?
(A) Provided it is a cooperative and not one expect the
other to bring something that is not agreed upon! It should
be COOPERATIVE, or each give and take.
(Q) Will I get a 100% square deal from Gaines?
(A) If it's given! What is given will be received!
(Q) Could or should I take over Carolina by myself and run
it without a partner?
(A) If you have the money!
(Q) How could I finance myself until orders begin to be
shipped?
(A) Be very unwise to undertake it, under the present
situation and condition.
(Q) Will I be able to get the Stewart-Warner of Chicago
business at once?
(A) No. Portion of it, will.
(Q) What is best procedure for me to insure getting the
business?
(A) On the line that has been laid out.
(Q) Who will be the best man in the organization for me to
work thru?
(A) Through that one that's already been laid out.
(Q) What shall I do or say on meeting Mr. Smith, the
President?
(A) Same line that has been laid out.
(Q) What is best approach to Mr. Zucker?
(A) Same line that's already been laid out.
All these have been given, in the various approaches to
individuals, that that makes for the ability of a body to
meet the various situations. When their ideals or purposes,
or aims, are set aright, is as the development of an
individual - and SHOULD NOT be pointed in each individual
case, or else the body loses its own individuality; and
PERSONALITY is certainly something NOT to be paraded or
boasted of! Well to have, and necessary! if used properly!
WITHOUT INDIVIDUALITY, you are nothing!
We are through for the present.
