The plant tîia,t Purchasing Agents built

Flying over the Blockson plant with one of our field men, a purchasing agent showed sonne surprise a t the size of our operation. "I had a notion I was your biggest customer," he ob­served. t£ You" re rrty bisgest customer," our field man answered.

"What I mean," said the P. Α., "You handle my phosphate orders and phone calls as if you were a one man outfit. The fellow I call ίο make up or change an order usually gives me the shipping information, routing and all those de­tails while I hold the phone . . . like I was his only customer and he had been sitting around waiting for my call.

How can you do that with an opera­tion so large? . . . Do you do it for every buyer that calls in an order?"

The answer to that one is YES. We try to make ourself as useful as we can to the Purchasing Agent . . . be­cause he is the man that's responsible for every new plant that goes up on our thousand acre site. We try to make his buying job easier by cutting out the red tape that elsewhere snarls him up in chasing down orders and in paper work and "bookkeeping."

Our new catalog is off the press now. Pencil the word CATALOG on your letterhead and we'll send you a copy.
