Sound Business Practice

BUSINESS STANDARDS must be such that
men can implicitly trust each other. This is
as fundamental to better times as sound cur
rency, credit or banking.
WHEN ONE MAN engages another to per-
form a service, he enters into contract If
this service is to be assuredly successful that
contract must be made with a man or organi-
cation that:
First: Has sound business standards.
Second: Is fully equipped to perform his
contract on time.
THE KENNEBEC JOURNAL COMPANY
attributes it's success in the steady growth of
its business to its ability to perform unusual
service for it's patrons, and the preservation
of their confidence through sound and honor
able business practices.
AN HONORABLE RECORD over century
sets our standard high and would seem to
warrant confidence in our purpose to MAIN
tain it.

of the schooner leaped overheard,
with lines looped under their arm
pits, and were dragged on board the
