There's only one reason lvhy this disabledvet cart't work. Youwort'tlethim.

Unfoftunately, there are quite a f'ew businessmen who are a little hesitant about hiring disabled veterans. Because they're just not sure whether these men can handle a job. And whether they won't demand special privileges once they get one.

Well, we at the National Alliance of Businessmen can assure you that disabled veterans can handle most jobs as well as anyone else, if not better.

And we can assure you, too, that privileges or pity are the last things they'll have on their minds.

Not because we think disabled veterans are mature, experienced, and dedicated individuals.

And nbt because we think disabled veterans are skilled and trained to handle the kinds ofjobs that you can give them.

But because a recent survey by the DuPont Co mpany showed that 91 7o of the disabled vets they hired rated average or above average in job performance. And because 93% of the disabled vets they hired rated average or above average in job stability.

So give a disabled vet a chance, by giving him a job.

A man who's able, mature, and experienced should end up on the payroll.

Not the welfare roll.

The way to get this country working is to get people working. So if you have a job to give, call the National Alliance of Businessmen.

Training Presidents

(Continued from page 61) son took over the sales end. He has been quite successful. and, at 42, has developed into a fine salesman.

Unfortunately. however, the father is about ready to retire and it has just begun to sink in that the son ean sell lumber-but has only a vagu'e idea about how to run a timber business. A bigger firm might have developed people he could lean on-strong manufacturing and estimating departments under the father-or the son might have become executive v.p., learning to work with all the departments. But this did frot happen. In a sense, the son was not taught at all, he was pushed into sales (which the father did not like) or else he moved toward sales work to obtain independence.

Today he knows next to nothing about the business as such.

OBSERVATION:

Like our first example, this father is a doer. and either not interested in teaching or incapable of doing it. The son is a self-taught sales manager. Fine as such. but a bad risk when he takes over total management. Trying to learn the overall business will be hazardous at best. Not impossible, of course, but the firm will have to be very solid

Could Your Daughter Be the Next President of Your Business?

T HE LADIES have always been I at home in the privately-owned business. Beyond those who work in the office. there is always the occasional wife or daughter who is a toolmaker or truck driver * or winds up running a stamPing Plant or a packing firm.

So if your daughter wants to run your business some day, will take the time to prepare herself for the task, and is willing to accept the long hours, hard work, and resPonsibility involvedthen why not?

The key question is does Your daughter really wantto run the business, enough to accept the imPact of that decision on her life. And if so, for how longwill she want to run it? There is a great deal of noise about sex discrimination, but what it really boils down to is this:

A woman's place is in the home il that is where she w'ants to be. If she warls to be in a business, then to survive a couple years of his amateur management. His best bet would be to sell

(Please turn to page 9 1 ) that is her place.

Of course, if your daughter marries and becomes a mother, her children and her work interfere with each other. But still, a few pregnancies do , not preclude a woman working in a comPany, nor should it prevent her heading it up. Between nursemaids and nurserY schools and day help, she can work full time, virtually the same as a man.

Ironically, only her husband can prevent her being a candidate for your successorl if she marries a career executive with a large firm, or a military officer, and he is transferred to another location. she will go with him. So look to your son-in-law; if he will stay Put, Your daughter could be your successor.

The only real difference between an ambitious, interested daughter and an ambitious interested son is that you and she will ProbablY get along together better.

So if your daughter wants into your business, hold the door wide open.
