A business owner was looking for skilled people to work in his factory so he went to an employment office and asked to see potential applicants. The first was a Fitter & Turner, a German, and the applicant impressed and was hired. Next an Italian welder, presented well and was also hired. The employment office manager was unable to produce any more skilled workers but said that he had a very keen to work Chinese man and the business owner agreed to interview him, the man was able to show enthusiasm to work and the owner offered him a labouring job in the Supplies Department. The man did not speak fluent English but had enough to get by.
A month later the business owner went to speak to his various supervisors and foremen to inquire about the new employees, excellent reports were given for the German and Italian however the Supplies Department Supervisor was not so enthusiastic. He explained that the Chinese man was on time every day but then he disappeared. The owner decided to conduct a search, they looked in various rooms, in storage cupboards, everywhere just about and could not locate the man. Then the owner spotted a pile of cardboard packing in a corner and went to it and pulled some away. The Chinese man leapt to his feet and shouted "supplies".
