Riverside i : ORGANIZATION When the American engineers appeared on the. scene "Over There," the necessity of putting through one big job was apparent. Thousands of our boys were to follow; the big ships bringing them, and the big freighters loaded with supplies must be able to dock quickly, unload in haste and depart unhampered by delay of any kind, to bring more and more men and additional tons of food, supplies, ammunition and the necessities of war, in order that success be assured right from the start. . : A certain seaboard town, on the coast of France, had been selected as the most favorable port for the landing of these great ocean carriers, but the facilities to dock and store were far from adequate and haste was the important factor to save France. . Elaborate plans had been prepared by the French engi neers for building suitable docks and warehouses, but they said it would take six years to complete them. The American engineers re-designed and built them in six months. ORGANIZATION did it. , , ' So it is with everything else American today. Success in the operation of all the big things, in this ago of wonderful ac-' complishment, is through this medium. Public service . corpora tions have been quick to realize this fact and their policy has undergone a change. - Organization sounds the death knell of the duplication of effort, it systematizes details, it brings unity or action, it pro duces the most for the least, it makes a smooth limning marine whose product is service. This is the reason why, in this day of progress and devel opment, modern cities and great manufacturing industries prefer to be doing business with large concerns engaged in supplying electric energy; this is why the systems and plants of big power companies are being , tied together to secure the most efficient service through organization , ; , , California-Oregon Power Company Phone 168 Medford, Oregon
