Fellowship Brotherhood.
The order of the United Com
mercial Travellers of America is
fraternity of gallant gentle
men.
The word united" suggests one
of the greatest words in the
English language.
1t means friendship, union. mu-
tuality, banding together-co-
operation. 1t implies action, the
concurrent striving together for
the attainment of certain oh
jects.
OF this cooperation is born
fellowship. And such organiza-
tons as the Order of the United
Commercial Travellers of America
lift this fellowship from casual
acquaintance to intimacy and
brotherhood that makes for cour-
age. sanity and success.
This fraternity and intimacy
are not limited to society or So
cial functions
1t permeates the whole range
of commercial activities and en-
tiers into the business life of the
whole nation.
At one time business was a
hesting game. It has evolved
from a system of piracy and cut
throat competition to one of CO.
operation and emulation.
True, there is rivalry existing
between big business men to-day,
but it is the healthy rivalry that
tends to all-around efficiency.
Commercialism used to be an
epithet flung at the heads of
business men who, through ear
nest striving and application of
effort, brought their ideas to
, fruition.
Estheticism is anemic. 1t is
the business man, the commercial
traveller with the red corpuscle
