result of bf'ing in positions where considerable contact
with peoplf' was nf'cessary. He has had plcnty of opportunity
to understand tl1(' ideas and philosophy of men or
different environment and social standing. One summer's
work in a hotel in Canada gave him much of this
broadening experience. Hf' also worked for the State
Highway Department one summer doing manual labor.
Finally, a position in a Testing Laboratory gave him
working knowledge of plant layout and production
methods. McLellan, after this work experience came to
Babson Institute to learn the fundamentals oL\dvC"rtising
tC"chnique. This, he has done. In fact, he is a member of
Alpha Delta Sigma, l\ational Proll:ssional AdvC"ftising
