Perhaps even more important than our gains in sales and earnings were the steps
taken during the past twelve months to expand our technology and our markets. By
entering new and promising fields of instrumentation we expect to broaden and
diversify our product line and continue our efforts to make significant contributions to
scientific and industrial progress.
With this diversification and the growing complexity of our worldwide operations,
we have been faced with a number of new problems and challenges. It is to the credit of
each of you that you are meeting these challenges with initiative, enthusiasm, and an
excellent spirit of cooperation.
The outstanding job you have done during 1964 has been aided by the improve-
ments we have made in our facilities, by better tools and equipment, and by better
methods and procedures. But in the final analysis, a job well done depends more on the
skill and the attitude of the person doing it than on anything else. Your individual
performances during this past year have contributed immensely to our company's
growth and progress. We appreciate your efforts and we offer our congratulations and
our thanks. Our best wishes to you and your families for a Happy Holiday Season.

Hewlett-Packard. As unmistakable evidence of the company's faith in
the future, new plant buildings have recently been dedicated in Tokyo,
Berkeley Heights, Colorado Springs, and Pasadena.
Nearly a thousand people-employees, local citizens, and dignitaries-
gathered October 31 and November 1 at Hachioji, Japan, to celebrate com-

celebrate they did, even to the point of blanket-tossing some of the top
executives present.

ducing a variety of measuring instruments for the Asian market. More than
250 people are employed at the plant.

minimum during open house tours of the new Harrison Laboratories facility

ployees, their families, and friends from the area, visited the plant during
the afternoon. By any standard, it was a success. Guests consumed 45 gallons
of punch and 55 pounds of cookies. Furthermore, they were presented with
800 ballpoint pens, and the children walked off with 200 lollypops and 500
gas-filled balloons.
The new 45,000-square-foot Harrison plant has two levels and is located
on a nine-acre tract.

administrative operations.
