WHICH ONE WOULD YOU BUY?

As the customer you would naturally pass up the dented cans on the left and select the neat looking cans on the right.
As a customer you make the decision when selecting a product to purchase for yourself. Surely you would have no difficulty deciding which one of these packages you would buy.
The people who buy our products are just like us. We may or may not be impressed by what a salesman or an advertisement claims the product will do . . . but our decision to buy or not to buy the product is definitely influenced by how the product looks.
Now, suppose for a moment that you are our customer, and that you are going to purchase products from the Naugatuck plant of Uniroyal Chemical. What kind
of packages would you expect to receive? As the customer you would certainly expect the best.
As our customer what kind of cans or packages would you accept?
The important role that the customer plays in our business is expressed in These Ten Commandments of Good Business.
- A Customer is the most important person in any business.

New Front To Building 84 Progresses: Plant Protection And New Reception Room To Be Located In Building

Architect’s rendering shows new front to building and location of the two turnstiles.
Construction is well underway on the new addition to Building 84 scheduled for completion early in 1969.
The guard station now located in Building 75 will be moved to this building becoming the control center for the television monitor and intercom systems for the other plant entrances, as well as for the telephone relays and fire alarm systems. A guard will be on duty at the Main gate on a 24-hour a day basis to monitor all vehicle and pedestrian traffic and to check visitors entering the plant.
The building will be constructed to permit maximum visibility by the guard of both
traffic entering the plant and passing under the railroad underpass.
A new, enlarged reception room is also included in the new addition as a visitors’ waiting room. Visitors will contact plant employees from the reception room and will be escorted into the plant by the employee.
Two turnstiles will be located at the Main gate. To enter the plant, an employee will insert a “magnetized pass” for the turnstile to operate and allow him to enter. To reduce congestion
during shift changes, the second turnstile will operate in the “exit” direction only. Other turnstiles will be located at the Tire gate and Synthetic plant entrances.
The new passes will be issued to all employees when the turnstiles are installed. Should an employee forget his pass, he will have to contact the watchman and prove his identification before admittance into the plant.
Karl Pittner of the Engineering department is the project engineer for the new addition.
