If your home should be struck by Lightning, and then
realize that you could have saved it, had you used our
Pure Soft Copper
Cable Lightning Rods
How much wiser is the man who buys our Rods,
protects his property, and the lives of those depending upon him, than the man who depends entirely
upon insurance to save'him.
Even, if the; insurance would repair the house, it.
could not bring back a member of the family after the
fatal stroke of lightning. ■   .
Do you want to feel safe when the storm is raging? ,-   .
If so, let us rod your, buildings with the Best Rod and
System on Earth.- ..   Yours Truly, •

Healthful Working Conditions and Educational Opportiinities
Benefit Employes—Company's Broad Policy of Welfare
Work Includes Luncheons/Baths, Library, Rest Rooms
A visit to the model factory of the
world, the plant of the National Cash
Register Company at Dayton, Ohio, was
a part of the annual outing* of the
Eastern Michigan Press Club and the
Michigan , Press Association^ October
5-8. This factory is one of the principal .show places of Dayton and a visit
to it is a liberal education in up-to-date
factory methods. In fact, in its treatment of employes, its "Welfare Work,"
the Company is away ahead of the age.
Welfare Work at the N./C. *R. plant
has three things for basis—healthful
■working conditions, pleasant surroundings and educational opportunities. The
healthful working conditions begin with
huge, airy workrooms, perfectly lighted
and -ventilated and scrupulously clean.
The pleasant surroundings include
smooth, green lawns bounded .by shrub-
etrfergency hospital with all * appliances
for dressing wounds is also established,
and the factory foremen are furnished
with simple appliances to be used in
case of injury.
Trained "Worker Good investment.
Believing that a well-trained workman is' the hest possible investment, the
N. C. R. Company has done many things
for the training of its employes. First
of all, there are the schools of many
kinds. Agents' training schools at Day-
ton and in a number of cities in" the
United States, fit candidates for positions on tlie selling force of the •Company. Salesrnen in: the field are brought
back to Dayton once" every two years
for- post-graduate courses.
Classes in English are conducted for
the stenographers of the Companj, in

bery, vine-covered buildings, and a
neighborhood made beautiful with trees,
vines, and- flowers..' The: educational
opportunities embrace schools and
classes of many kinds for employes,
lectures by prominent men and women,
a well-stocked librarj', literary and
social clubs, and educational trips to
other factories, to expositions, to the,
great cities and even to Europe.
Care for Employes' Health. 0
The care of the Company for the
physical well-being of its employes is
seen first of all in the construction of
the factory, buildings. Large windows
admit light and air in abundance. An
efficient ventilating" system changes the
air throughout the factory _ buildings
every fifteen minutes. Cleanliness is a
noticeable characteristic of the plant,
eighty janitors being constantly employed in sweeping, scrubbing and
washing windows. '
Cleanliness is-encouraged in the personal habits of employes. The Company provides 73 lavatories,-120 shower
baths for the men and 14 tub baths for
the women.   Once a week in winter and

twice a week, in summer the employes
are allowed twenty minutes on the
Company's time for bathing, Employes
are free to use the baths as often as they
like on their own time.
Clean aprons and sleevelets for the
women, white suits for the janitors,
dresses- for tlie kitchen employes and
laundry workers are -furnished and
laundered by the Company.
luncheon Provided for "Workers.
Believing good food is as essential to
sood work as light and air, the_ Company provides a hot luncheon .daily for
cobking for the women workers, and in
emergency nursing and first aid to the
injured for persons employed in the
mechanical   divisions.     Besides   these,
Sunny workroom with comfortable chairs    '
there is an officers' school where the
President or General Manager meets
the heads of departments and assistants for lectures and conferences. There
is an advertising school, where campaigns of publicity are planned.
The employes of the N. C. R. cooperate with the management in Welfare Work through, two organizations,
the "Men's Welfare League and the
Woman's Century Club. The object of
the Men's Welfare League, which has
2500. members, _ is to secure imprdvc-
ment of working conditions throughout the world. The Woman's Century
Club, witha membership of about 600,
has a similar purpose for the women
workers.
League Conduct* "Neighborhood Bouse.
Under the auspices of-the Men's Welfare League, a neighborhood "betterment house" has heen established near
the factory, where the people meet and
where classes are conducted in carving,
sewing, drawing, embroide'ry. and basketry. '    ■    .,
In August the League, with the cooperation of tjie Century Club, con^
ducted a vacation camp at Port Huron,
Michigan, where 1700 factory workers
with their wives-and children enjoyed
a ten days' outing at a total cost of
$7.80 apiece, including railroad fare.
Last year the .two organizations conducted excursions for 2200 employes to
the St. Lpujs World's Fair.       -.-•-.
A branch of Welfare Work through
whieh the Company has had a great influence on the people and the surroundings " of the neighborhood is that of
landscape gardening. At the time when
Welfare Work was started the surroundings of the factory were like those
of the most industrial plants—anything
