Each piece of quality work turned out . . . every letter typed, every phone call hanc'led . . . every meeting with- plant visitors . . . has its effect on pubiic relations. Whenever you speak, write, or act as a company employee—whether the contact is personal or indirect—you -influence the public's opinion of the company. To those who meet you, or know your work, you are the company. ping pong enthusiasts were assigned to the first flight bracket and the other eight entries were put into the second flight.
