speed up production. The factory is the scene of a silent struggle
between the two young partners and the older one. The young owners
have so far managed to put into effect some of the practices seen
in the US, by installing new cutting machinery, a machine to glue
on soles, and a conveyor belt in the stitching room. As a result
of their efforts, production has increased from 1000 to 1200 pairs
of shoes a day, and the price line has been held despite a sharp
increase in raw material costs.

39. Company G: Mr. D., owner and manager of Company G, shoe
manufacturers, was one of the 18 members of a French shoe team.
Since his return he has shown what can be accomplished by a
European producer in raising productivity by a careful study of
American methods and their intelligent application to local
conditions.
40. The results obtained have served to stimulate a will to
produce, which in itself, is one of the main factors of high
production. The major results of the production drive at the
factory so far are:
1) Its 120 workers are getting 20% more in wages.
2) Daily production has increased from 400 to 600 pairs of
shoes; a 50% increase which has enabled the management to
pay its workers more.
