Thi Old T imeT thinks the very spirit of Champion is an invitation to team work; .mutual benefit and good 11eio-hborJines . The vast changes in equipment and process over the years at Champion have been amazing to Ford.

During h is first year h ere, J esse worked as an oil distributor with the R pair DepaTtment. Fo11owing this, he worked two years on the Pulp Drying Machine-. T ll en ·in 1922 he came to the E.
