Board Chairman Willits
Tells Os Bard Progress
Remarks by Harris L. Wil
lits, Chairman of the Board C. R.
Bard, Inc. Monday morning at
City Hall, Covington, prior to
the groundbreaking ceremony for
the new plant here:
“As Bard’s Chairman and Se
nior Citizen, perhaps it would be
appropriate if I gave you some
of the company’s history and ba
sic policies.
“Since I joined the company 37
years ago, I have participated in
its growth from a volume of
$150,000. per year to sales last
year of over 25 million dollars,
profits from $19,000. before ta
xes (there weren’t any taxes in
those days), to 3.6 million last
year. From a total of 8 people
to over 1,000. From 2 owners
dividing 100 shares equally to
2,010 owners of 1,624,000 shares.
From a “Market Value” of
$27,000. that my father and his
partner paid for the business in
1927 to a theoretical 65 million

“We had 2 small rooms in New
York City with a total area of
2700 square feet. I haven’t check
ed the plans for the building we
are starting today but I am sure
just the toilets will cover far
more than our entire space when
I joined Bard.
“The formula for this growth
is to me crystal clear but the
progress has not been an easy
one. We are in the basic busin
ess of people’s health. Neworen
larged hospitals, medical build
ings, nursing homes are In evi
dence everywhere we turn. But
merely being a part of growth
industry does not Insure success.
We have only to recall the nu
merous firms that did not make
it in the automobile field, just to
name one area. Bard has a po
licy of confining its product mix
to consumables or expendables
and not equipment or things that
require service and we are only
in the areas of surgery and pa
tient care as opposed to house
keeping and the many other de
partments that make up today’s
complex modern hospital. The
real key to our success, in my
opinion, Is to never forget that
in the health field they buy more
Cadillacs and Lincolns than they
do Chevy’s and Fords. The Image
and recognition of only handling
the most dependable product is
the intangible that every leading
company in our business has in
common. This Is not easily at
tained and requires constant and
continuous recognition that we
are after the quality market and
let others have the business that
is bought solely on price.
“That is briefly some of Bard’s
background and policy. lam sure
my associates will inform you of
the details of our plans for this
new facility in Covington, Geor
gia. I had nothing to do with the
selection of the location but was
delighted when told it was to be
in the Atlanta area. For names
such as Emory and Grady, are
names that are very familiar to
me for we have been privileged
to serve them as well as the
other leading Institutions in this
area for as long as lean remem
ber.”

Dahlonega Wesley
Foundation Center
Is Dedicated
DAHLONEGA—North Georgia
Conference Methodists dedicated
a $50,000 student center at North
Georgia College Sunday after
noon, February 19.
The center provides facilities
for more than 400 Methodists
students at the nation’s only co
educational military college, as
well as for Dahlonega high school
students. The state-owned four
year college has an enrollment
of 1,200.
Leading the service was Bishop
John Owen Smith of Atlanta, resi
dent bishop of Georgia Met
hodists. in his dedicatory ad
dress, Bishop Smith said stu
dents must put their academic
pursuits Into Christian perspec
tive or education is of lesser
value. He said this “Christian
perspective” Included learning
to relate to other persons and
knowing one’s actions affect other
persons.
“The real scrap In this life is
out where the people are, so you
have to be right in the middle
of life as a Christian”, the bis
hop declared. He said if Christ
ians, and particularly students,
are to live up to the challenges
and threats of wo rid communism,
they must learn to “out-think,
out-research, out-produce, and
out-plan” within a Christian
frame-work.
