[CBQ] Perfect gentlemen

Back in 1921, the Burlington's vice-president announced that the Burlington
was conducting a courtesy campaign among its employes. He said "In the
management of a property requiring 60,000 employes it is expecting too much
that every one of them will be a 'perfect gentleman,' but we are determined
that the percentage of 'perfect gentlemen' in our employ shall be as high as
we can make it."

 

Are you suggesting that the "old heads" were not perfect gentlemen?

As I said earlier I did get to work with several real "old heads" and got in
on lots of good stories. and colorful nick names...most of which are
unprintable on this list.
