PLAIN "BILL"

EVERY day a fleet of up-to-date service cars speed m various di-

rections across North Canterbury, carrying mails, passengers and freight to scores of out-of-the-way places. The men who drive these cars are obviously picked for their ability. They are friendly and courteous, as well as being cool-headed and skilful drivers. Further, they show a rare consideration for other motorists.

It may so happen that — m your hearing — one of these men may refer to "the boss." Should such a thing come to pass, listen carefully; and, neivhanco. you'll hear more of "Bill" Mockett, the man wko started with more worries than ha'pence and who has built up one of the most efficient and reliable service runs m New Zealand.

Many of those worthy city business men who read books on business systems and psychology (awful word) would find it more to their advantage to wander out to Culverden and watsh "Bill" Mockett at work.

He forgets nothing. Efficiency ba*ed on the loyal co-operation of his men means more to him than the knowledge contained m those slim volumes devoted to making business grow.
