Save Hours Which Might Otherwise Be Wasted

There are surely a score of ways in which the idea back of this man's plan can be adapted to special circumstances - and no doubt you'll quickly work out all of them.

A management consultant, whose duties take him to various industrial plants in and around a large city, has evolved a plan for saving time in calling upon those of his prospective clients who are located in the sections in which he already has clients.

The task of "routing" himself on these trips is simplified by a large wall map of the city mounted on a wooden frame which hangs directly before his desk. Into it he sticks numbered tacks of different colors to indicate the location of his prospects and their financial ratings according to the leading commercial agencies.

The "key" to this map is typewritten on sheets of paper that give the names of the concerns (opposite numbers corresponding to those on the tacks), the individuals in charge, and additional details about the ratings.

Before starting out to visit one of his clients, he glances at the map, makes out his itinerary on a small card, and drops in to see his prospects on either the way out or the way back. The idea is, of course, applicable to the work of any man, whose business calls him outside the office at times.
