But if you multiply 32> cents times several hundred thousand, it can add up to a lot of money. That's exactly what happen- ed when W.D. "Bill" Cox, a 33 year old maintenance Depart- ment employee, submitted his idea in 1972. He suggested that GM< re-design an auxiliary weatherstrip thatwas attach-, ed to, the bottom haif of ight-duty GMC and Chevrolet truck doors. Bill's idea elim- inated the requirement to drill holes in the doors, as well as "THAT MON EY SAVED MY HIDEV!" Fire, explosion, or wind dam- age to a business firm is bad enough, but the cost of overhead and salaries without earnings during business ini- terruption can mean bank- ruptcy. lnvestigate Business Interruption or Earnings ini- surance with the James In- surance Agency Lt.

OFFICE 623-4406 RES. 623-5023 doing away with plastic drive nails in the secondary wea- therstrip that were used to, hold the strip in place. GM saved 32 cents for every light-duty truck built. Bill subrçitted his idea when he was working in the Truck Plant. He has since transfer- red to the Maintenance'De- partment in the Car Assembly Plant. He originally observed that GM was experiencing probhems in the installation of the door weatherstripping due to a variation la the fastener positions and the hole location on the doors which caused the weatherstripping to be tight between some naîls and loose between others. The result was' an unacceptable fit, which had it been allowed to continue, could have caused moisture to bc trapped, resuit- ing in corrosion. Bill's sharp eye for quality and timely suggestion resulted in' the re-designed auxifiary wea- therstripping being adopted by GM of Canada's Truck Plant as well as Chevrolet Truck Assembly plants throughout the United States. His idea was put into ful production with the start of the 1974 model year. Mr. Cox joined GM of Canada as an assembler in the Car Assembly Plant in 1964. He transferred to the Stamp- îng Plant a year later and to the Truck Plant in 1967. 1He went back to the Car Assembly Plant in 1973. He is married, with three children, Trevor, 9, Gregory, 3, and Jennifer, 2, and the family lives in Peterborough, Ont, where Bill currently has his house for sale and hopes te, move to Oshawa. Bill's hob- ies are bowling and basebal and he coaches a tiny tots' baseball team as well as a mites' hockey team in Peter- borough. Winning the maximum sug- gestion award of $10,000 makes Mr. Cox the 3th winner of the top award since the amount was raised to $10,006 in 1968 and the fourth one this year. 1976 is proving to be a bumper year for top suggesters at GM of Canada. ~~gw and STOVE OIL BOWMANVILLE CUSTOMERS CALI COLLECT Ask Operator for 668-3381 or Dia[ 1-668-3381 CALL US DX FUEL OU TODAY FOR PROMPT, COU RTEOUS SERVICE Do You Need Money? $2,OOO - $50MOOO - st, 2nd or 3rd Mortgages -Cut Your Payments in Haif Consolidate All Your Loans Pay Off an Existing Mortgage Combine 2 Mortgages into One -Purchase or Improve Property Any Worthwhile Purpose Farms-Commercial - Residential Mi*ke Coughlin Tel. 705-743-2501 - SAME DAY APPROVALS - Three ther maximum awards have been paid so far since March.
