Reviewing Argus Progress

In the last issue of ARGUS EYES, I mentioned that sales of the "75" had been somewhat disappointing. With the temporary cessation of production, we have caught up a bit with our inventory and now plan to resume steady production through the balance of the year. OVERALL COMMERCIAL SALES EXCELLENT Although there has been no sudden spurt in "75" sales, sales of our other products have been extremely good. Last month, in fact, was the fourth largest commercial month in our entire history. C3 sales have been especially active, and we have increased production to take care of the demand. Reduction of the C4 from $99.50 to $89.50 is beginning to bring results, and sales at the dealer level are continually improving. This is an excellent example of competition. Companies that can lower costs and price their products to give them VALUE are the ones that will sell their goods. An outstanding example of this was the price cut of the C3 in the spring of 1950. Immediately following the price reduction, sales increased fourfold. Our new projector is another example of good value bringing good results. Because we set a price value at the very beginning, this projector is selling actively in the face of a usually poor season for this type of product. The A4 is still in the early stages of distribution. All signs thus far are favorable, and we look forward to steadily increasing production. DISTRIBUTION PROGRAM WELL UNDERWAY Distribution of the "75M through the drug trade is well underway. A new program such as this takes time to become established, but new outlets for our camera sales are being opened all the time. Our ultimate aim is a very broad distribution of our products in all types of outlets. The drug wholesaler program is one important step in that direction. MORE AND MORE PEOPLE BUY ARGUS I recently spent two weeks on the West Coast where I called on dealers large and small to get a first-hand impression of the retail trade. Every place I visited I found our products are well received. More and more people are buying Argus products. Our extensive advertising is having good results, and our distribution program is putting more of our products in the hands of customers. DEALERS PRAISE OUR QUALITY One question I always ask a dealer is: MHow is our quality?" In the last analysis, the whole structure of our business depends upon consistently good quality. The answer I always get is that our quality is consistently equal to or better than our competitors. That is one great reason for Argus success. Quality must stem not just from management policy and effort, but from the effort of every person in the organization. We must at all times keep quality on a high level and costs on a low level. This is the winning combination that makes sales and creates jobs. We are in a buyers market where people are very choosy about what they buy. As long as we work together to provide the buying public with QUALITY AND VALUE, they will continue to buy Argus, and we will continue to be successful.

Anniversaries

Scholten Schedules Training, Conferences

Dudley J. Scholten, vice -president and -director of sales and advertising, (seated with Mr. Lewis, center) met with West Coast and local representatives for a unique sales training conference June 26-28. Ten salesmen from the Craig Movie Supply Co. , our exclusive distributor in Oregon, Washington, California, Nevada, and Arizona, participated in the conference. Eight Craig representatives attended the first sales training program June 19-21. Both conferences, Schol ten explained, were designed to acquaint our distributors with Argus' facilities for lens manufacture ,to explain the fine points of camera assembly ,and to acquaint them with our current national advertising and sales promotion program. The successful meetings included a tour of both Argus plants, and intensive sales training meetings held at Barton Hills Country Club. A similar conference was held in May for O. W. Ray salesmen, our exclusive distributor in New York City.

Pilot In Karea Writes Us

Prior to my coming overseas in December 1952, I bought one of your C3 cameras. Because o f their reputation I had always wanted one. I'm an Air Forcé pilot and was flying over Korea with a load of cargo in a C-119. I had my camera with me as I carry it on every flight. Without warning a good case o f hard luck forced us to bail out. In the excitement I forgot to take my camera with me. There was a terrific explosión when the plañe hit the ground. The heat was intense, mei t ing almos t everything beyond recognition. The wreckage was scattered over a wide área, but in the debris I found the most part of my Argus C3 . It is of cour se beyond repair. However , I think it truly remarkable that it could be recognized at all. I would lik e to congratúlate your company on their fine camera. I can' t use the remainder of the camera I have now , but i f I can ever get another fifty dollars together again, I' 11 head for the PX and get another. That' s how we 11 I like them. Sincere ly yours,

Lt. U.S. A. F.

You Asked Andy

No rest for Andy this month with f i ve hot questions to answer! I got Jim Brinkerhoff to answer the costof -living one for me. The next one, asking for compensation for the Fourth, I turned over to the Management Committee. He re are the rest! Visitors Parking Lot Lt. Pettit helped me dig into the hub-bub over an employee who used the visitors parking lot. "No employee is allowed to use the lot without special permission," he said. Permission was given on three occasions for sales training conferences, but at no other time has an employee or department hadspecialprivileges. Lay-Off Policy Mrs. Radford checkedher records and came up with the answer for this one: "Why are new girls hired in one department when several must be laid-off in another? Isn't it possible to transfer one girl to another office if she is capable of doing the work?" Mrs. Radford explained that in every instance we have tried to fill vacancies with people on lay-off who are capable of doing the work. As a matter of policy, she said, we aren't required to do so, unless a person has been employed for three years and has acquired plant-wide seniority. At the time the note was received, only one office girl had been laid off, and she didn't have the special skills needed for any office job open. Sick Leave Policy A note f rom "Two Faithful Employees" about an apparent discrepancy in our sick leave policy put Brinkerhoff to work again. He pointed out that there are actually three sick leave policies--one for hourly, one for non-exempt salaried, and one for salaried people who are exempt from over - time under the Fair Labor Standards Act. From the situation described in the letter, the people qualified for different sick leave policies. For the past month, office heads have been working out a new more liberal sick - leave policy for nonexempt salaried people. Should be ready soon. That's the bottom of the pot for another month. Fm going fishing for the next two weeks. See y ou next month,

Personnel Celebrated Birthdays

A Word Of Explanation

Andy brought me a letter saying that as long as we follow General Motors, why doesnrt the Annual Impr ove ment Factor become part of our base pay-will Argus add 19L to our base pay? Letfs review a bit. GM adopted their cost-of -living and annual-improve me nt-f actor formula in 1950. Argus adopted the GM plan in January, 1951. Before that, and up to March, 1951, all Argus increases were added directly to the base rate. Last May, General Motors added all A. I. F. and all but 5L of their costof -living-figur e to the base pay of non-incentive workers. Incentive workers received an equal amount through Mfactoring. " This means that a smaller amount was added to their base rates, which would become the full amount at average incentive earnings. We froze 21L to our earned rates. Were we to factor it, we would probably add between 14L and 16L to base rates. Since we accomplish approximately the same thing, we froze instead of factoring for the time being. In the freezing, for one thing, all incentive employees became eligible for higher insurance benefits.

A House Goes Up!

Easy Street, at the Green Lea Subdivisión off Packard Road, was a busy spot Saturday morning, June 27. Many fellow employees of Les Schwanbeck were on hand to help him erect his new Gunnison home. Eddie Girvan was photographer of the day catching many interesting shots of the fellows at work.

Argus Men In Service

Darwood Moore, stationed with the Army at Fort Riley, Kansas, has returned to the base af ter spending a furlough with his wife Jeannette of Optical Assembly. Dar is on Military Leave from the Final Inspection Department. While passing through Ann Arbor on his way to his home in Gaylord, Marty Metzger visited his department, optical assembly. Marty, who is stationed at Camp Atterbury, was an optical repairman before entering the service in December 1952.

Bill Underwood, Clarence Carrington On Military Leave

In a recent letter to Mrs. Radford, Bill Underwood stationed with the Army at Fort Riley, Kansas, expressed a desire to hear from the folks back home. Bill said the weather is really hot with temper atures from 120 to 150 during the day and 90 to 95 in the evenings. While on leave from the Great Lakes Naval Training Center, Clarence Carrington stopped in to visit friends at Argus. Clarence returned to the Great Lakes base June 14 to enter hospital corpsmen school for 22 weeks' training.

With The Women Golfers

We are happy to report that after four weeks of golfing, the gals are showing muchimprove ment and interest. Of course, the six balls given each week helps to keep up the interest. Credit goes to Fran Franklin who was transferred to the night shift. Each Wednesday morning she plays her nine holes alone! Some of the beginners have lowered their score 20 strokes. To name a few of these gals - Mary Burris, Tess Canja, Doris Walle, and Betty Shattuck. Perhaps the fellows would accept a challenge f rom the girls! With scores suchas Liz Clapham 45, Katie DelPrete 46, Marj Yokoyama 55, and Marg Hardy 56, we could show competition.

Sports Review

The Argus golf leagues have now passed the halfway mark in their season's play, and a glance at the standings is rather surprising. All three of the leagues are enjoying close and exciting title chases with only a few points separating the top teams. TUESDAY GOLF LEAGUE Koch-Myers Lead The combine of Don Koch and Merle Myers lead the parade with an impressive record of 39 wins and only 9 losses. Don and Merle have been giving improving performances in each of their outings, and have been coming through in all of their close matches. Grimstone-Eggleston follow In second place and only one point behind is the team of Jack Grimston and Morrie Eggleston. The duo started out rather slowly, but have picked up in the last few weeks to make their bid for the title a serious one. Fraser and Myers Hold Third Spot In the third spot in this league is the combine of Jim Fraser and Paul Myers. With only five weeks remaining of the schedule it seems likely that the winner will be one of these top teams. WEDNESDAY GOLF LEAGUE "Dutch" and Sturgis in First Place The Wednesday group also has bunched leaders with only a two point spread separating the top four teams. As of this date Bill Sturgis and Dutch Engelhardt are holding a slender one point margin over the second place team of Ralph Parsons and Bill Lamb. Much of the success of the leaders has been due to the fact that Dutch has lost none of his competitive fire despite

ing been away f rom the game for a long time. Ralph and Bill, in the meantime, have moved up in the stand - ings mainly due to the very rapidly improving Bill Lamb. Third Spot Tied Tied for the third spot are the combines of Bruce Pester-Walt Blackwell and Dick Foster-Ed Adler. These duos started out with the highest averages in the league, but have been whittling away at their averages and at the same time garnering enough points to place them within striking distance of first place. Dick has continued on the prowl since the opening of the season, and has kept himself supplied with new golf balls by consistently coming through with low net for each week's play. The surprise of the league has been the showing of the team of Dobransky and Howe. Joe and Maurie have maintained the lowest average in the league, but have been struggling all year to escape the embarrassment of ending in the cellar. The future looks none too promising. THURSDAY GOLF LEAGUE Thomas-Ruzicka and Thompson -Azary Tied The Thursday league finds a bitter battle being waged between the teams of Leonard Thomas-Bill Ruzicka and that of Jim Thompson and "Smoky" Azary. These two are now deadlocked with identical 36-12 records. After a rather disappo inting start, Thomas is now hitting his woods "a country mile," and the rest of his game seems to go along with his woods. If Leonard can keep "powderingTt his woods and Bill can continue his steady game, this team is going to prove a tough one to oust from the top spot. At the same time, Jim and Smoky are now playing the best golf they have shown during the years that we have had the league, and are a determined pair to make this a banner year by walking off with the Thursday league title. Herb Pfabe and Lefty Schlenker, last yearfs Grand Champions, have found the going rather rough this year, and have been struggling to keep their heads above the 500 mark. With their present standing in the league, it is almost certain that we shall have new champions for this year. (continued next page)

Argus Softball League

Manager Joe O'DonnelPs Argus team has definitely proved itself by its outstanding play in the early schedule of the Recreational League. The teams have now completed the first round, and the Argus team has shown such steady

ment that our entry is a very serious threat to the title. Joe has instilled in the team the hustle and eagerness that is so necessary in a winning team. The brunt of the pitching burden has been carried by Cal Haywood who has given outstanding performances in all of his appearances. Hal has pitched the only two shutouts registe red in the league. The veteran Max Robinson has been handling Cal's slants, and has established himself as the best allaround receiver in the league. The Argus infield is composed of the hard hitting Ray Gregory at the hot corner, Leon "Blackie" Blackmer at shortstop, "Scooter" McKinney at second, and hustling Jerry Patterson at the initial sack.

The Argus outfield has been playing exceptionallygoodballwith Ypsi's Jim Swansey playing a standout game in centerfield. Jim is flanked by Dick Westphal in left, and either "Bantom BenM Thompson or Gene LaRoe in right. The latter two have proved their versatility by moving into one of the infield positions when the occasion demands it. Torn Bates, another of CVDonnelPs flingers, has been placed in the line-up to take f uil advantage of his hitting ability. Doug Nordman, who has been called into service, was giving a masterful exhibitionof fielding in the early season games. Doug was roaming far and near to make miraculous catches. The team greatly misses his outstanding play. The few loyal fans who have been following the team have been privileged in watching many well-played games, but the second meeting with the Union Bar was perhaps the most impressive showing that the Argus team made all year. The league leading Union Bar nine which boasts some of Ann Arborfs most talented players had been threatening to run away with the league, and had even been considered as an entry in Ann Arborfs fastest league, the Twilight League. The Argus team spotted the leaders two runs in the first inning, but then shut the door for the next five innings. In the meantime the Argus hitters kept pecking away at the offerings of the Bar hurler until they had taken a 4-2 lead going into tfee final inning. With one out and a runner on first, a pop fly was misplayed by the Argus infield and before Haywood could retire the side, the Barmen had shoved over the winning run. Af ter outplaying their highly touted rivals for six innings, the defeat was a bitter one, but it definitely proved to the players that they are as good as there is in the league. With this renewedconfidence, the Argusites are an even bet to square accounts the next time they clash with the Union Bar nine. Softball schedules are posted on the bulletin boards. Support the team.

Girvan's Photo Corner

I Clip and save in Loóse Leaf Nocebook to build a Photo Manual i i THE MODEL 75 CAMERA VJ Fixed focus cameras are set by the manufacture r to give sharp pictures in a range which covers most picture taking. The , Argus 75 is such a camera. Argus has focused the lens so that everything between 7-12' and as far as the eye can see (infinity) , will be sharp.

There are many times when the 75 owner would like to get closer than 7-12' and many do butthe results are poor. The way to get closer and still get sharppicturesisto use a "close up" lens attachment which sells for about $1.75. The picture on the right was taken O at the normal distance of 8'. If the box is the point of interest, it appears rather small.

The picture on the Ie ft was taken at a distance of 3-12' f rom camera to subject with the close up lens placed on the camera "taking" lens. You can see that the box is now a prominent part of the picture. It isn't necessary to be exactly 3-12' away but you should be care - ful that you are within a very few inches. The size attachment to ask for is 28. 5 millimeters. Pictures of babies and pets are particularly suited forthis set up.
