sary to give work TO unemployed
there have been further developments
in this business which is being run on
the Golden Rule basis Mr. Nash out
lined today these recent steps.
Business men of Chattanooga,
Tenn, have become so interested in
results obtained by APPLICATION of the
Golden Rule To this business that
they have subscribed stock to open a
Tennessee company.
"Employcos of the Cincinnati fac
tory have bought into ownership to
the extent of $4,000 since opportun-
ity was given them in January.
"EmployeeS are so much interested
IN the Golden Rule that they conduct
cd q service in the Cincinnati PEOPLES
Church in January.
Arrangements have been made to
conduct classes il business manage
ment and economies for employees.
business has expanded so much
since employees presented their pc
tltion proposing they take a vaca-
ton that Il new shop has been opened
This growth has employed a large
number of men out of work and with
the rcopeninS Of activity for the
spring, the need of Nash employees
stepping out to make room temporar-
lily for others has passed
Mr.. Nash said he had statesmen i'm
many other cities and that the goods
Of the firm were sent to nearly every
state in the uniop.
/ am not interested in this busi-
ness simply from the standpoint of
production, but from seeing what re-
suits can be obtained when everybody
works from the basis of doing to
others as he would have done by,
Mr.. Nash said, Il am not interested in
making money. l have already more
than / ever dreamed Of having. In
fact | am worried about the money,
for | have seen so many crimes COM
mittod under the shadow Of great
wealth.
That the Golden Rule pays in the
operation Of a business | think has
been demonstrated in ours.
NO other manufacturer can pro-
duce the results thai our workers do.
when they know they are working for
themselves and for the good of others
around them.
"Incrcas"d output Of course would
not count and we would have broken
up. II we had not had the business.
l}ut IN" Golden Rule works too. 1t
has gotten us the business. Through
the period of depression as well as
through the period of high prices we
have kept right on growing.

workers gradually by laying off ten

told that unless they accepted such
