THE MASTER
BLEND
• The year 1936 dawns with a much happier prospect for Labor
than we have 'faced for a long time. Fewer unemployed, larger
payrolls, mean more prosperity for all of us.
The Duncan Coffee Company pointed the way, two years ago,
when it replaced all the machines in its packing department with
human hands. The number of its plant employees was increased
from 80 to 170. During 1935 the number of men and women in
the. Duncan plant in Houston was increased from 170 to 198.
These numbers do not include the sales force maintained out-
side the plant, which was increased correspondingly.
For seventeen consecutive years the Duncan Coffee Company.
has paid a bonus to all employees from the porter to the presi-
dent and has provided vacations with pay to all workers. There
has been no reduction in wages. ,
Labor has shown its approval of the Duncan policy by the
whole-hearted acceptance given its two popular brands:
"Admiration" and "Bright and Early" coffees. We intend to con-
tinue to justify your approval. * ■
