John Ruskin says that ''The
noblest word in the catalogue of
social virtue is loyalty" It is the
most important word in all bust
ness relations as we'll, loyalty to
clients and customers, loyalty to
employers, loyalty to employees.
Loyalty is the foundation Of the
home, of the school, of society, of
government, of all success in the
trades and professions, in CON-
MERGE and war. Without loyalty
society and government become
anarchy; industry ceases, religion,
disappears and the hand Of every
man is against that of his fellow.
