are pT A’ Montreal, Canada, members of I.A.M. Lodge 1787 play important shop roles at Lines Bros., prominent manu- facturers of children’s toys. “Here is a complete world in miniature, lacking nothing,” Louis Gagnon, 1.A.M. repre- sentative, writes THe Macuintst in describing the Line Bros. plant. ‘The production and assembly areas are filled with toys, a sight for children to behold. Many years have | passed since the days when the toy industry waa carried Jj on by individuals working in rural) cottages. The family chipping away at wooden figures over a kitchen table - throughout the long winter evenings has given way to the . highly organized precision work of countless 1A.M. mem- & | bers‘at Lines Bros. And today, believe it or not, we have ‘found that the Thistle toys made at Lines Bros. are sturdier _ than those of old,” Gagnon explained, “Our toys are engi- Ti * neered for strength and beauty. Children are severe critics - of appearance and fierce testers of endurance. Bearings must stand murderous use without a smell of oil for months, the tires will never be changed and nuta will certainly not - be tightened. To stand all of this, both design and work- “- manghip must be very good indeed. At Lines Bros., know- EG how of management and skills of I.A.M. members combine’ # - as ateam to produce a line of toys unsurpassed anywhere.” SHHH!—I'm not supposed | to know, but my Daddy's getting me « new Thistle . oll buggy for my birthday.
