‘The growth of the Company is evident by the
number of people honored this year compared to
67 in 1978 and 46 in 1976.
President SY SPUNT, who received his 25 -
year pin, had the following comments to make
to fellow honorees and their guests
“The service award dinner is the Company's
way of demonstrating its appreciation for your
loyalty and dedicated service.
T would like to extend my sincere appreciation
to each employee being honored tonight for
your personal devotion and effort to make Curtis
‘the company it is today.
We constantly talk about Curtis as a People
Company. For us at the Home Office, we take this
for granted. But visitors immediately mention the
attitude of our people.
Since this is my 25tb year, I would like to review
a few bistorical events:
IN 1953 we bad 184 employees - --IN 1978 we
bave 2,367 employees IN 1953, we had 6,100
square feet of space - - - IN 1978 we bave
431,000 IN 1953 we bad $2,000,000 in sales ---
IN '1978 we will bave $77,000,000 in sales.
We are a growth company - -~in 1953 we didn't
cover the United States... in 1978, we are a
multinational company with Canadian and United
Kingdom facilities and ship merchandise to some
50 countries around the world.
‘My goal is $100,000,000 in sales by 1981. With
you and our fellow associates we can accomplish
‘his goal and tus, provide all of us with the many
benefits which come from the attainment of ourHONOR ROLL
