Reputation.

A REPUTATION for fairness is desirable The
fdence of the public is of the most valuable
sets of business house. We pass judgment upon
the Individual to character from his associations.
Judgment is rendered upon the business house from
its methods. The character Of the house is estab-
lished by the kind Of goods carried and its treat
ment of the customer The only true way to gain
the lasting confidence of the public and establish
reputation for fairness is strict business integrity
and straightforwardness of purpose. TO sell only
good grade of goods at fair price-and where any
dissatisfaction arises after purchase, to make it
right with the customer. A reputation such this
is not made in day, in month, nor in year
but in succession Of years-and after it is once
attained it must be maintained by constant, untir
ing effort.
Such enviable reputation has the Glass Block,
gained by adhering strictly to this fundamental
principle of business, first laid down by the found
of this house.
