Sinclair Welcomes
Returning G. I.’s
When returning GI’s appear at
Sinclair Refining Company’s sales of-
fices throughout the country they’ll
get considerably more than the us-
ual “warm welcome.” W. B. Rausch,
local agent for Sinclair Refining Co.
reveals that a detailed program look-
ing toward re-absorption of veterans
in the Sinclair Sales Organization
has been prepared.
The program embraces the fol7
lowing broad elements: (1) Helping
the returning veteran “find him-
self”; (2) Placement of the veteran
in a position to capitalize his war-
acquired experience and special
skills; (3) A training program de-
signed as a refresher course to bring
veterans up to date on developments
and changes that have occurred dur-
ing the war years.
In a letter dated Feb. 26, 1945, to
the more than 3,000 Sinclair employ-
ees in the armed forces, Mr. H. F.
Sinclair, Chairman of the Board of
Sinclair Companies, stated his inten-
tion to provide veterans the fullest
opportunity to adjust themselves
upon their return. Of the replies
to Mr. Sinclair’s letter, more than
79 per cent indicate a desire on the
part of the veteran to return to his
old job.

The oversight was repaired by a
large sign posted at the entrance to
the banquet hall, reading:
“Nobody admitted unless he comes
