of machinery. In other words, they had a very stable market. They could be made to know just exactly how much sand paper of this, that or the other quality people would buy in the year. They got their orders on an annual basis. For this the orderer got a discount. An order given on an annual basis for the Adams-Manning Paper Company would be given a discount. You could always walk up to the Adams-Manning Company and buy some paper without having given the order in advance, but for those who would give the order in advance they gave a discount. That meant that it was profitable to all hands. That meant that they had stable customers who knew how they were running their business.

The Adams-Manning Paper Company was a small industry. They only had three hundred employees. It was a tightly held family corporation which was run by the family that had started it. I think the young man who was at the moment most active was the third generation of the Adams-Manning family. They'd intermarried together so that it was all the same family.

It made a beautiful example because they gave a guarantee to their employees of so many weeks of work per year. It provided for a two week vacation every year with pay. They guaranteed fifty weeks of work a year. That was their guarantee to their employees. That included the vacation.
