FOUR PRODUCTIVE FACTORS
THOUGHTS: It is well for us to realizi Vhat we are facing crucial conditions
that require deliberate and wise thinking. Thoughts are dynamic
forces that often shape our destiny. It is with this idea in mind
that we think for the interest of our friends and relieve them
of cares and worries.
LOVE: LOVE is the fundamental principle of life, and in order for us
to reap the fruit of love, we must demonstrate a kind and help¬
ful attitude towards others. This is our daily practice in all
business relations.
ACTIONS: OUR every act is based upon a high motive to render the most
skillful service at the most reasonable prices. We guarantee
always an extra measure of service and more considerate terms.
“Actions speak louder than words.”
TRUST: WE are mindful of the trust and confidence placed in us by our
friends and these factors stimulate us to higher endeavors and
enable us to render a more beautiful and satisfactory service to
all.
“Four things a man must learn to do
If he would make his record true;
To THINK without confusion clearly;
To LOVE his fellow men sincerely;
To TRUST in God and Heaven securely.”
