Efficiency Rules

Efficiency A GOOD deal is heard these days, from the whistling boy m the street and the housemaid propelling the electric vacuum-sweeper, about the "breeze that blew somebody's gal away." That's one kind of breeze. Another kind—just as infectious as the song — is brought into his office each day by Adolphus Johnson, builder .of motorbodies m the fair city athwart the rippling Avon. A.J. may not approve of all the hustling methods and devices of the go-getting Yankee, but he seems to have sox*ted out some of the best of them and applied them m his big Christchurch factory. Efficiency rules here, not with an iron hand, but with a quip and smile and a word of encouragement. If cares sit betimes on the broad Johnsonian shoulders, they find there no resting-place, for he is blessed with a temperament which makes light •of them. A pleasant man to meet; do business with; and to chattily unfold the mysteries of his extensive plant.
