EUGENE GEORGE
Vice President, Region J

"Gene George has an enormous capacity for hard work," relates one of his business associates. "He puts in 100 hours a week, but gets more done in 10 minutes than most people do in an hour. His key ingredient is perception; he has the uncanny ability to instantly grasp the heart of a situation. He makes it a point to keep abreast of new concepts, materials, techniques and equipment. His memory is fantastic, bordering on total recall. His work is his hobby, which may well explain his success."

With such business acumen, it is no wonder that Gene George directs one of the largest and most successful mason contracting operations in North America. His firm, George and Asmussen Limited, founded in 1951, is based in the small community of Breslau, Ontario, near Kitchener, home of Canada's renowned Oktoberfest. Company branches extend to Ottawa, Montreal and Calgary in Canada, and to Albany and Louisville in the United States. And requests to do work come in from throughout the free world.

The extent of Gene George's involvement and accomplishments in the U.S. and Canadian masonry industry is remarkable. With MCAA, he has held the posts of regional vice president.

Hand Signals
And Voice Commands
Audio-Visual Training Presentation

When masonry has to be moved, does your crew know how to signal the move properly and safely? More and more, cranes and hoisting equipment are used on the job site to move and place masonry materials. That's why "Hand Signals and Voice Commands for Mechanical Hoisting Equipment has been produced- to make sure members of the masonry team know how to give proper hand signals and voice commands to the crane operator.
The 75-slide and audio cassette presentation explains the standard hand signals and voice commands and discusses their proper use. It's part of a package that goes much further however. The package includes:
• Two wall posters suitable for classroom, shop or job site.
Twenty accompanying notebook-size reproductions of each wall poster.
Two international orange hard hats and vests to distinguish the signalman.
