Politeness in Business.
Charles G. Williams, president of the
Chemical National bank, says in the
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post:
The question of politeness may seem
to the young man looking toward the
banking business as an occupation to be
quite superfuous, if not, indeed, Il
wholly trivial matter. Next to absolute
integrity l deem it of utmost Importance
From my earliest days in the Chemical
bank l have been impressed with the
value Of courtesy. From my parents
learned the lesson of politeness. and in
turn tried to impart my feelings in this
respect to all those who have come under
my direction in the bank.
100 OIten the man VINO wears Il SnaD-
by coat is subjected to discourtesy, but l
have observed that many a tattered gar
ment hides a package Of bonds or big
sum of money, and that gorgeous cloth
ing does not always cover millionaire.
Many desirable customers have been
driven away from bank by the incivil-
ity of it's employees 1t is the invariable
rule of the Chemical bank that every
employee, from the humblest clerk to the
highest official, shall be courteous to ey-
eryone. 1t is our assumption that
grain of politeness saves ton of correc-
ton; no. institution is too important or
too independent to ignore the unwritten
laws of courtesy.
If could command the speech of TWEEN
ty nations l would preach roliteness to
them all. 1t is the Aladdin's lamp of
success: it oils the wheels of commercial
progress, and makes the burden of the
days work less irksome l do not speak
idly in praise of polteness. for out of
the experience of tifty-six years in the
banking business it has been borne in
upon me almost daily that courtesy is one
of the prime factors in the building I'M
Of every career. 1t is the hallmark of
the Christian gentleman and the keen
man of affairs. Politeness pays.
