ABSTRACT
When your Chairman asked me some time ago to make a few remarks on the subject of company information for the various classes of people who have reason to be interested in a company's affairs I rather hesitated to accept because I cannot claim any qualifications as an expert in this field. However, not long thereafter, I heard an address in which the speaker opened his remarks by saying that an expert is any man away from home and, with that in mind, I decided I would try my best to give you my general thoughts on this subject. I might add that perhaps I do have one qualification and that is an intense belief that employees, shareholders and customers are entitled to know everything there is to know about their company except matters which would be harmful to the company's business or competitive position.
