My favorite wrinkle to the Dempster Mill saga was Harry Bottle’s explanation as to how he “inspired” the necessary inventory reduction:
“In desperation, I simply hired a painter and with his help we painted a six-inch white line 10 feet above the floor around the inside wall of our largest warehouse and I called in plant supervisors and informed them if I ever walked into the building and could not see the line above the pile of boxes, I would lay off everyone.”
And then he kept moving the line lower and lower. Bottle was one tough cookie.
Like your work, Rational. And ethical. Thanks
