The students arrived at Kodak Park by special bus service pro- vided by Kodak, whose represen- tatives were their hosts at noon lunch in the plant s cafeteria. A full afternoon of trips through the various departments, demonstra- tions and short talks held the in- terest of the visitors as they got a rare look at large scale pro- duction of things photographic. The tour was conducted earlier this season than in the past since its inauguration a few years ago at the invitation of James E. McGee, Kodak vice-president and general sales manager. Last Fri- day s program was arranged by Howard Kalbfus, director of Kodak Sales Training Center.
