Four “Earning Days” Saved for the S. S. Fairfax Wauen United agreed to recondition the Merchants and Miners liner Fairfax in 45 days it expressed also its determination to better the contract time if possible. Keeping in mind that a ship earns no money in a repair yard, United exerted every effort to save time. Asa result, the Fairfax was returned to her owners four days ahead of schedule. Those four days became earning days, for they enabled the Fairfax to make a voyage that had not been counted on. It is noteworthy also that United’s bid was 15 days under the next low bid. But that is the sort of service that is standard at the Fletcher Plant—where the Fairfax was repaired— and at United’s four other plants—Crane, Morse, Shewan and Staten Island. The reason for this policy of superior service is obvious—the best customer is a satisfied customer. ~- UNITED DRY DOCKS Incorporated al Broadway DIGby 0500 New York MARINE REVIEw—September, 1930 1?
