To do this we make use of the Chevrolet service facilities. They have in Portland a complete shop and ask us at least once a year to send our men for a five-day period of training. A ll our men are glad to take advantage of this and all of our men, except one, have been through the school at least twice. They are going again in Feb- ruary of this year, including the man who has not been Independent Warehouse & Milling Co. there.
