r y TRUTHFULNESS j
A Virtue With Washington
A Business Policy With Us
Washington was known, among many
other things, for his truthfulness, The
“cherry-tree” story serves only to exempli
fy that great spirit of honesty and fair
ness which pervaded his being.
Countless other stories recount his truth
ful nature. With him it was a virtue that
he could not lose, an asset that could not
be dislodged. His character was such that
falsehood was an impossibility.
It is our policy to be truthful at all times.
Our advertising is not misleading or un
true. Our salesforce is trained to speak
only the truth. It is a policy that we hav e
pursued for so long that it has become an
integral part of our business—never to be
violated.
