The

Human Factor Behind

the Product

This space will show womakły z twent aspect of one of the grant industrialîn- ititutions of the world.

The credit for modern industrial progress cannot be

laid at the door of machines or methods, for these are

but the tools with which progress has been wrought. Be- hind them stands the moving force, the force of man.

For it is human resourcefulness, ingenuity and experience that have perfected and successfully operated methods and machines.

Therefore, man-building is the first duty and the greatest achievement of the far-reaching organization known to the world as-Westinghouse.

This is your best guarantee that when you buy any prod- uct bearing the name of Westinghouse, you can rely upon it as possessing the efficiency, durability and service that are found in the products of remarkable men.
